Hi team,

- I got quite some feedback about the debate with debian-multimedia.org
I mentioned last month. My take away message from that feedback is
that many users have no idea about the multimedia capabilities (and in
particular of codecs availability) of recent Debian releases. We
should probably invest some communication energies into that.
I think that's addressed at us. How about the following paragraph in
the release notes:
"
Debian wheezy comes with full-featured libav (formerly ffmpeg)
libraries and frontends, including e.g. mplayer, mencoder, vlc and
transcode. Additional codec support is provided e.g. through lame for
MP3 audio encoding, xvidcore for MPEG-4 ASP video encoding, x264 for
H.264/MPEG-4 AVC video encoding, vo-aacenc for AAC audio encoding and
opencore-amr and vo-amrwbenc for Adaptive Multi-Rate Narrowband and
Wideband encoding and decoding, respectively. For most use cases,
installation of packages from third-party repositories should not be
necessary anymore. The times of crippled multimedia support in Debian
are finally over!
"
What do you think?
- Fabian
