That is good. But this reminds me of the first time I installed 'ffmpeg' on Ubuntu only to have it not work with my well-tested parameters and also declare ffmpeg 'deprecated'. Only after some head scratching did I figure out it had installed libav and an ffmpeg wrapper that tried but failed to be compatible with the real ffmpeg interface.
I wasn't even aware of the split at the time, but this shenanigan definitely gave me a strong negative initial impression of libav.
