In the meantime, perhaps you could include LiVES in fedora, since as I have
pointed out, ffmpeg/mplayer/mencoder are *not* required for either building
or running the application.
Which functional regressions will a missing dependency cause?


When you try to open a video type which LiVES doesn't have a decoder for, the user will get an error "LiVES was unable to extract either video or audio from this file."

 

LiVES will check at runtime if any of these are
available so users who wish to use "restricted" codecs can either build
mplayer from source or pull it from another distro.
It has a dependency on mpegtools (N/A in Fedora).

mjpegtools is an optional dependency. Without it you will lose support for live camera inputs and yuv4mpeg streaming.

(Actually, LiVES doesn't even use the mpeg part of it, it just uses some #defines from yuv4mpeg.h).
