This is an experimental and research codec of which ffmpeg is the only encoder and decoder, development has stalled since 2013 and these files don't exist in the wild. Deprecate the encoders to be removed next major bump, decoders to be removed one bump afterwards. We also disable the the encoders by default in configure, the decoders should be disabled by default next bump. Signed-off-by: J.
