There has been a marked shift of project goals over the years. While long ago

FFserver was removed not improved, not replaced.
the video encoder core we had, which encoded from mpeg1 to mpeg4, msmpeg*, rv*
and others
and at the time was the best encoder available (not anymore now, no) but after
mpeg4-asp,
modern video encoders where no longer added to ffmpeg. In one case a advanced
encoder for a fringe
format was rejected
Which encoder was this?
Also, people not submitting encoders is beyond our power and has been
the case for more than a decade. All important video codecs past mpeg2
(H.264/5, VP8/9, AV1, etc) have never gotten an encoder in lavc.
What i would worry the most about is decoders being written in external
libs and glued into lavc. Fortunately VVC is not going that way, but
others have and still are.
AI based filters are neglegted at a time everything is shifting
to neural networks and AI. Clientside / "in browser" also has become very
important but
is absent from our documentation, our fate tests, and so on
If there's something that's 100% corporate interest and not a project
from multimedia hobbyists, it's AI.
