A couple of reasons: 1. Google forked the ffmpeg codebase a while ago, so stock ffmpeg is no longer a standalone replacement. 2. Chromium's codebase now compiles the ffmpegsumo (their fork) into the chromium binary. It might be possible to hack it to generate that shared library again, but I have not had the time/motivation, since most people who want those extra codecs seem to just use Google Chrome. -- You are receiving this mail because: You are on the CC list for the bug.
