NEW: ffmpeg

FFmpeg is a complete solution to record, convert and stream audio and video. It includes libavcodec, the leading audio/video codec library. FFmpeg is developped under Linux, but it can compile under most OSes, including Windows. The project is made of several components:

• ffmpeg is a command line tool to convert one video file format to another. It also supports grabbing and encoding in real time from a TV card.
• ffserver is an HTTP (RTSP is being developped) multimedia streaming server for live broadcasts. Time shifting of live broadcast is also supported.
• libavcodec is a library containing all the ffmpeg audio/video encoders and decoders. Most codecs were developped from scratch to ensure best performances and high code reusability.
• libavformat is a library containing parsers and generators for all common audio/video formats.

this was done on i386-current (as of about 1800h today). testing, comments appreciated, i'm pretty sure i missed a few things. now where'd i put the link to the porting and testing guides ...

this is part 1 of about 3 on the way to a working divx encoder. we have the necessary dvd-reading goodies (needed for ogle) so now all we need is the video compression stuff...
