[MPlayer-dev-eng] Native codecs from libavcodecs

[Roberto Togni]

Hi all!
I'm ready to patch MPlayer to use some native codecs from libavcodec.

My current plan is:
- Port a codec to libavcodec if not already there
- Wait a few days after the codec appeared in anonymous ffmpeg CVS
- Make MPlayer prefer the codec from libavcodec over the one from  
libmpcodecs
- Wait some time to check for complaints - bugreports
- Remove the libmpcodecs version of the codec

Is it ok or do you prefer to delay this stuff after 1.0? In that case  
i'll commit support for ffmpeg codecs with lower priority than the  
MPlayer internal codec, and will do the cleanup after the release.

Since most codecs i'm talking about are old and seldom used (maybe  
except for Cinepak), i think it will be safe to go on with the move.

Audio codecs will come later.


Ciao,
 Roberto
