Sad to see the hostile fork "win".

I know if I were ever in the position to contribute to general OSS video, libavcodec would be on the list of projects i would never be willing to support.

Hopefully these projects can reconcile and libavcodec and its shamed name can be put down and development can continue under the projects true name to honour its true roots.

I wouldn't put it that way, considering that the last distros still shipping libav are abandoning it in favor of ffmpeg.
