Comment (by waddlesplash):

 @pulkomandy Yeah, that sounds like a good idea. And yes it's totally
 possible to do.

 Also, there is a FFmpeg 2.3 recipe in HaikuPorts that I made a few months
 ago which works on GCC4. I tried {{{ffplay}}} (SDL-based audio/video
 player that's included by default) and it worked for a few test videos
 that I had around anyway, so that's a good sign.

 But yes, @pulkomandy is right in that we'd have to fork the Media Kit
 plugin into 2 parts: a GCC2 version for FFmpeg 0.10, and a GCC4 version
 for 2.3 and beyond as the API is very different (even 0.11 is
 source/binary incompatible with 0.10).

 At any rate, it's certainly possible for @ttcoder to ship a 2.3 ffmpeg
 binary and library set with TuneTracker and use it to do media conversion
 internally. It's also possible for us to provide the {{ff*}} commands in
 the GCC4 package rather than the GCC2 one as well.
