hello! its been pretty quiet this week on the ml.
thought i'd ask about a future problem.

when libavfilter is completed and in ffmpeg svn,
is mplayer going to get rid of vf or keep it with libavf?
the third option would be to make the new filters work
exactly as the old ones, and just add new features etc?

there are pros/cons with each. getting rid of -vf will
break 99% of guis and frontends and projects. keeping it 
will have code duplication and program confusion.

e.g. will it be able to use -vf and -libvf at the same time? etc
or will libavf support the same colorspaces? like on some systems
where -vf format=yv12 produces bad output, and requires -vf format=yuy2
or -vf noformat=yv12

so whats the consensus? has it already been decided?
