I'd be very interested in knowing if there is a way to easily remove
support
for patent encumbered codecs in FFMPEG (and by extension, VLC). I've
been trying to manually remove the codecs one at a time, but there are
so many it's taking forever...<br>
<br>
My plan is to eventually maintain a free format only fork of FFMPEG to
use as the basis of creating legally distributable variants of the
various FFMPEG powered projects (like VLC).<br>
<br>
Has anyone else looked into this?<br>

<pre wrap="">I'm thinking to compile videolan player with theora support only and enable
the web plugin interface, it would replace the cortado player and possibly
provide a better alternative to flash video plugin in linux when somebody
starts a youtube type of site powered only by theora codec and theora video
plugin ?
