Most of the driving forces behind what was formerly known as FFmpeg is
now continuing under the name Libav. Continuing to follow Libav
instead of FFmpeg is the more conservative, and IMO the better choice.

Disclaimer: I was the release manager of the former FFmpeg project,
and do the same Job in Libav these days.
