Dear Rolf,

We can only rely on your experience, as most of us are newbees in video 
processing (at least, this is my case).

As a matter of fact, ffmpeg does not provide a single interface to 
input/output video. For example, in ffmpeg, streams and picture-based formats 
are not treated the same way (at least I can imagine this reading the example 
files). Therefore, before integrating ffmpeg into PIAVE, there is a need to 
write a common library wrapping ffmpeg libraries.

Anyway ffmpeg integration .... is not my field. I leave the issue of ffmpeg 
integration to you and Ruslan and anyone interested.

Kind regards,
Jean-Michel
