If you tell me where and how, I can put my arguments on a wiki page. > Where can I find the current transition plan? My proposal is in the mailing list archive [2]. It also contains a summary of the arguments for switching to FFmpeg. > Will ffmpeg build the LGPL and GPL variants as libav did or are all reverse > dependencies suddenly compatible with the GPL variant? Currently Libav only builds GPL-2+ and with libavcodec-extra* GPL-3+ libraries. Since the only additional functionality of the extra variant is limited to an AMR encoder [3]. Thus I don't think this justifies the additional complexity of the extra variant.
