The video task won't be removed, as its too much work, and too risky at this late stage of the release cycle, so for karmic, we will need to consider the future of the video task very carefully, having to look closely at any new app we would like to include, making sure it does not pull in libavcodec52.

Hi Luke,

I'm okay to remove theses excellents software from the disk. So to allow 
simple user have a complete and powerfull video editing distro, we have 
to create a good ubuntu studio controls to help a simple user, 
completing his install via Internet by pushing a button to add video tools.

ffmpeg and ffmpeg2theora are essentials package to make video. so if 
they can't be on the disk face to licence trouble, we have to plan to 
help their install. On our repository, there is cinelerra in the same 
trouble face to ubuntu/studio install disk.

What do you thing of that ?
