It can be concluded that +media-video/ffmpeg has wider support, and would be somewhat +more convenient for most end-users. + +For this reason the default implementation has been switched +back from media-video/libav to media-video/ffmpeg by removing +the libav useflag from the base profile. + +If the libav useflag is already globally enabled or disabled +in /etc/portage/make.conf, then no further action is required. + +Users who implicitly relied on libav being enabled in their +profile, and who wish to continue using libav, should enable +USE=libav in their /etc/portage/make.conf file. |
