Deprecate libmp4v2 for an ffmpeg based container?

[hobbes1069]

I've been requested to ask here if there's interest in moving away from mp4v2 as it seems to be pretty unmaintained these days and perhaps see if ffmpeg can be used instead?

Thoughts?

Thanks,
Richard

Please feel free to disable build of the deprecated libmp4v2-based "MP4v2" muxer in Avidemux by patching https://github.com/mean00/avidemux2/blob/master/avidemux_plugins/ADM_muxers/CMakeLists.txt at any time, the recommended and supported way to create mp4 containers in Avidemux is the libavformat-based "MP4" muxer.

BTW, it would be great if you could apply the fixes from the support_2.8.0 branch (except of "[cmake] Leave release mode", irrelevant for functionality) which correct a few really bad crashes and regressions which regrettably made it into the release. I wish I could promise 2.8.1 to be released within the next couple of weeks, but alas, this can take a little longer.

I did a simple patch to remove the add_subdirectory but I'm getting a bunch of MP4V2_INCLUDE_DIR-NOTFOUND in the ADM_videoFilters6 subdirectories. Looks like it may not be that simple.

Never mind, found the other references.

Thank you, I indeed missed the other location. Do builder issues you mentioned in the bug report persist? I don't see anything in updates-testing yet.
