Hehe.. sweet , just subscribed and a subject with what I want...

how about this:
I deliver my soft , and if the user wants video capabilities, my soft
downloads and installs ffmpeg.
Its not embedded, I just help the installation part...
I can put some warning:
"This libs could be illegal on your country..bla bla....
Do you want to continue?"

This way the codecs companies can prosecute me ?
