1 Those 6 packages do not look maintained and have different issues.
2
3 avifile: superseded by ffmpeg, xine and, yet to be in portage due some
4 packing issue (it has to be snapshotted as ffmpeg), mlt.
5
6 vcr: superseded by mplayer/mencoder and ffmpeg, not maintained anymore?
7
8 zphoto: not maintained I'm afraid.
9
10 drip: not maintained, superseded by different mencoder front-ends
11
12 divx4linux: superseded by ffmpeg and xvid
13
14 quicktime4linux: superseded by libquicktime
15
16 There are some ebuild that could depend on avifile or seems to have
17 avifile as an hard dependency (jahshaka to name an actively developed
18 one) but looks like it could be replaced.
19
20 expected phase out time: 25 days.
21
22 If you are against that please speak now.
