Bug Description

Binary package hint: ffmpeg

Since we won't get a new ffmpeg-version for lucid (according to a wishlist bug) could we please get these features backported to ffmpeg so they can be used in VLC?

quoting from the ffmpeg changelog:

- Bluray (PGS) subtitle decoder
- LPCM support in MPEG-TS (HDMV RID as found on Blu-ray disks)

I've recently started buying Blu-Rays (yes, I know ripping them to being able to watch them is still pretty ugly but it can be done) and I'd love to see support for these functions in lucid. Building my own ffmpeg could get potentially messy and interfere with apps depending on the shipped version of it so I'd prefer to see these features in lucid's ffmpeg.

thanks
Klaus
