Do you mean Oracle's binaries?
Yes.

You're welcome to provide another (compat-ffmpeg-010x?) package, but
libav{codec,format}.so.53 comes from FFmpeg-0.10.x, which is no longer
maintained:
FFmpeg 0.10.15 "Freedom"
0.10.15 was released on 2014-08-13. It is the latest stable FFmpeg
release from the 0.10 release branch, which was cut from master on
2012-01-26. Amongst lots of other changes, it includes all changes from
ffmpeg-mt, libav master of 2012-01-26, libav 0.8.15 as of 2014-08-12.
It includes the following library versions:
libavutil 51. 35.100
libavcodec 53. 61.100
libavformat 53. 32.100
libavdevice 53. 4.100
libavfilter 2. 61.100
libswscale 2. 1.100
libswresample 0. 6.100
libpostproc 52. 0.100
Hmm, looks like a poor choice from Oracle there, but maybe 0.10.x was
the current stable release when they decided on the Java 8 ABI.
Thanks for the info. I personally can live without the JavaFX (in fact I
don't use it so it would be hard for me to test) so I'll pass on making
another ffmpeg-compat package. Perhaps someone else will come forward
if/when they need it.
Cheers, Paul.
