VLC and ffmpeg are unrelated projects


I'm not very familiar with them, but I always assumed that there is a lot of overlap between the maintainers of both projects.


Well, they are just unrelated. VLC has a plugin to access ffmpeg codecs via libav*, that's about it.


They are not completly unrelated. There is significant overlap. FFMPEG also uses libs from VLC.
