It's indeed interesting because Baptiste is (or was?) an ffmpeg core
developer. This makes me wonder if this is a friendly or not so friendly
fork.

Only if there are serious reasons for that. Using libavcodec with their
frequent API changes is painful enough already, so I rather don't want to
start dealing with different forks.

Also as far as I see the changes are mostly on the encoding side, e.g.
for writing Quicktime files. We have libquicktime for that.
Other things like Id3v2 tags have been supported in gmerlin-avdecoder for
ages already.

I'm always interested on *correctly* encoded media files, which don't work
with gmerlin-avdecoder. No matter if they are created with ffmbc or a
different software. This is something, where all people, especially
non-coders, can help.
