Ending an era of shipping Libav as default the Debian Multimedia Team is working out the last details of switching to FFmpeg. If you would like to read more about the reasons please read the rationale behind the change on the dedicated wiki page. If you feel so be welcome to test the new ffmpeg packages or join the discussion starting here. (Warning, the thread is loooong!)
That are *good* news after all the long years … thanks for all your work!
***YAY!***
**PARTY!***

Wonderful news. Hopefully this will trickle down to Ubuntu since it is based off Debian.
