Just like to say to everyone that I'm currently packaging LiVES, and although I've hit a couple of problems hope to have a review request on bugzilla within the next couple of days.
How functional is it without mplayer? And does the runtime detection work such that if you install mplayer from rpmfusion full functionality is recovered?
Without mplayer, you would be limited to the following formats (assuming you had all the other required libs installed):
decoding:
dv (audio and video) ogg/theora (no audio) animted gif
multiple images (i.e animation sequences) generators (e.g. title generators)
external window and desktop capturing
clip imports from other copies of LiVES
encoding: dv (via libdv) ogg/theora (via encoder_example) animated gif flash/swf (using multiple jpeg) pdf
mjpeg/pcm (possibly) via transcode
If a user installs mplayer/mencoder after installing LiVES, then they will inherit whatever functionality is in mplayer/mencoder.
