[Ffmpeg-devel] deprecated - is the Motion project soon doomed?

[Kenneth Lavrsen]

I just released a new version of Motion (3.2.7) and at the same time 
downloaded latest SVN checkout of ffmpeg.

I get these warnings when I compile now.

/usr/local/include/ffmpeg/avformat.h:249: warning: `AVFrac' is 
deprecated (declared at /usr/local/include/ffmpeg/avformat.h:102)
/usr/local/include/ffmpeg/avformat.h:405: warning: `AVImageInfo' is 
deprecated (declared at /usr/local/include/ffmpeg/avformat.h:390)
/usr/local/include/ffmpeg/avformat.h:408: warning: `AVImageInfo' is

/usr/local/include/ffmpeg/avformat.h:418: warning: `AVImageFormat' is

/usr/local/include/ffmpeg/avformat.h:419: warning: `AVImageInfo' is

/usr/local/include/ffmpeg/avformat.h:420: warning: `AVImageFormat' is

/usr/local/include/ffmpeg/avformat.h:420: warning: `AVImageInfo' is 
deprecated (declared at /usr/local/include/ffmpeg/avformat.h:390)

So it seems the ffmpeg code Motion is using for making mpegs is all 
deprecated.

Does this mean that we are doomed soon?

How are we going to rewrite the Motion code so we use non-deprecated 
functions?
I have searched for some kind of documentation on it but there is non.
The output_example.c which is the official "documentation" still uses 
this structures!

Can I have some guidance please.
