Yes, I'm using libavcodec from ffmpeg, mostly as it's the only option I
found which was GPL compatible and also worked on Windows.  It's not in
debian directly, but there are unofficial packages[1], and it seems to be
inside libavifile-0.7c102 (there's a libavcodec shared library, but no
corresponding avcodec.h header in the -dev).
