> Does the format conversion feature of Miro really worth the move to RPM Fusion?

Format conversion was an optional feature in 3.5.x, but unfortunately is
integral in 4.x, to support synchronization for portable devices (which might
require format conversions).

Upstream chose to use ffmpeg to implement this, even though playback is
gstreamer-based, since Debian and Ubuntu have a stripped version of ffmpeg that
does not support patent-encumbered formats.

I agree, however, upstream would not be able to fix this for several months at
least (I've asked).

Should we see if we can get a 'lite' version of ffmpeg into Fedora instead?
