[Asterisk-video] libavcodec integration? (was Integrating mpeg4 video codec in asterisk)

[Roy Sigurd Karlsbakk]

hi

is there a licence problem with integrating libavcodec (http:// 
en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Libavcodec) into asterisk? This is licensed  
under LGPL so AFAICS it should be compatible with the asterisk  
system. this'll allow us to transcode video between lots of formats  
and codecs :)
