well there are many reasons
* there are surely the technical issues with SVN
* libmpcodecs are (audio, video) X (filters, decoders, encoders)
  in many cases these are wrapers for mplayer they belong to mplayer and
  not ffmpeg, so ill assume that this disscussion is just about the video
  filters
* rich wanted to design a better filter system for ffmpeg ...
  whats the staus of that?
* whats the oppinion of the other mplayer developers about that?

In the past you could go to a library and read, borrow or copy any book
Today you'd get arrested for mere telling someone where the library is
