I thought it was libvlc that covers that but no, it is indeed libavcodec which is part of the ffmpeg project. Does anyone here know the relationship between libvlc and libavcodec?

    libvlc uses libavcodec

    VLC relays on ffmpeg for a lot of video decoding, as do lots of other media programs. Go look up the legal notice on your TV and there’s a good chance the ffmpeg licensing information is in there.
