I am not really a dev to match the discussion in this aspect, as I said 
many times here and on Gentoo Forums, I started this thread to keep 
FFmpeg from being hijacked users from.

Carl Eugen Hoyos, I don't know about you John Finlay, but Carl and 
other developers, please, I believe, but again, I'm not expert, that 
there is an opening in there on that Gentoo Forums thread, and maybe you 
could sort things out, and take back the ffmpeg name to mean only FFmpeg 
and not Libav (Avconv).

Pls look up here what a TomWij Developer kindly wrote, and which is far 
above my undestanding without so much more effert than I can easily find 
time for:

There, I did what I said there to TomWij in my reply.

Hope the new version FFmpeg is fixed in Gentoo and marvellous as ever!
