Although no official release of ffmpeg exists, the code bunlded with the occasional mplayer (pre-)releases is, probably, as close as it gets to being a release. Ffmpeg project is hosted by mplayerhq.hu and they appear to have a rather close relationship... A number of other ported packages bundle their own versions of ffmpeg of different stages of staleness. Our official port ffmpeg-devel is not only stale, but also broken on non-i386. Perhaps, the libavcodec and libavutil already built by mplayer can be installed by the port, so that other ports can LIB_- or BUILD_-depend on it? The patch for the mplayer-port itself would be rather simple -- is anyone against the idea in principle? Thanks! -mi
