I began to write the muxer in june or july last year, when lavf wan't even
an option for making *vds (didn't have nav packs).
Besides, it would have been a 3 steps process: getting to know lavf api,
patching it and then linking it with a bridged muxer
in mencoder, so I decided that it was much easier and quick to patch
mencoder's muxer, although I ended up almost rewriting it.
Now I agree that lavf works well too, but I don't know it, so I can't
compare it with mine.
There are very marginal/unimportant things that mine does
(muxing mpeg4 and soon h264) and lavf doesn't, or the opposite:
I don't manage lpcm.
They can surely benefit from each other.
