Bug#717072: AMV-support is missing

[Juhapekka Tolvanen]

Package: ffmpeg
Version: 6:0.8.7-1
Severity: important

https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/AMV_video_format

"The AMV code has been sent upstream to the main FFmpeg project[5] and
the mainline version of FFmpeg now decodes and encodes AMV."

Oh, really?:

% ffmpeg -formats 2>&1 | grep -i amv
[1]    3874 done       ffmpeg -formats 2>&1 | 
       3875 exit 1     grep $GREP_OPTIONS -i amv

This bug really has major effect to usability of this package, because
there are at least umpteen gazillion little media players supporting
AMV-files.
