I guess this might be useful then. What about WebM/VP8?

When you can show me an actual example of a registered patent which the core
of ffmpeg violates then I will stop. Until then I still regard it as FUD.

If you can provide a configure command that would produce a non-patent-
encumbered FFmpeg binary and a list of files that must be deleted from FFmpeg
tarball so that it can be distributed by Fedora then please do so.
I have no time to do this and even if I did, I'd most likely be unable
to find all the relevant patents and miss something. Until then, I'll keep
maintaining it in RPMFusion.
