Bug#895921: woo: prefer ffmpeg over mencoder and libav-tools

[James Cowgill]

Source: woo
Version: 1.0+dfsg1-2
Severity: wishlist

Usertags: ffmpeg-libav-tools-removal

Hi,

While looking at the libav-tools rdeps, I noticed python-woo and
python3-woo have a recommends on:
 mencoder | libav-tools | ffmpeg

libav-tools has been removed from unstable so please remove this
alternative.

I think packages should recommend ffmpeg over mencoder because ffmpeg is
much more actively developed than mplayer. I also found this line in the
woo source which might indicate mencoder support is disabled anyway?
 https://sources.debian.org/src/woo/1.0+dfsg1-2/py/utils.py/#L504
 "if False and menc: encExec,encType=menc,'mencoder'"

Thanks,
James
