What codecs and containers is LiVES able to process without FFmpeg/MPlayer?
dv (with libdv), ogg/theora (although ffmpeg is required for vorbis encoding/decoding), mng (encoding only), animated gif.
I guess this might be useful then. What about WebM/VP8?

We welcome all new packagers with open hands. However, please check your facts before going off on a rant and accusing people of spreading FUD.
When you can show me an actual example of a registered patent which the core of ffmpeg violates then I will stop. Until then I still regard it as FUD.

If you can provide a configure command that would produce a non-patent- encumbered FFmpeg binary and a list of files that must be deleted from FFmpeg tarball so that it can be distributed by Fedora then please do so. I have no time to do this and even if I did, I'd most likely be unable to find all the relevant patents and miss something. Until then, I'll keep maintaining it in RPMFusion.
