This is not VLC repo.

As you can see both are present. Every maintainer can change it as he
wants, if one does rebuild the contrib system with our scripts, which is
quite rare, tbh.

Moreover, we keep compatibility with both libav and FFmpeg and test
both. (We don't have any choice, tbh, because of multiple
distributions).

Finally, we don't distribute any binaries, except Windows and Mac, since
Linux distributions do them, except SuSE, that we distribute, where it DOES
use FFMpeg:
ftp://ftp.videolan.org/pub/videolan/vlc/SuSE/12.3/x86_64/ffmpeg-1.0.1-1.1.x86_64.rpm
