 For those who understand German (or are willing to use google translate)
 here's a [http://forum.golem.de/kommentare/opensource/multimedia-
 framework-fuer-linux-ffmpeg-3.0-bringt-viele-neue-filter-und-
 decoder/ffmpeg-3.0-und-vlc/98599,4406383,4407276,read.html rant from a

 From [http://developers.slashdot.org/story/16/02/24/0051243/multimedia-
 powerhouse-ffmpeg-hits-30 slashdot]:
 > Correct, the latest stable release (VLC 2.2. 2) doesn't compile due to
 API changes on the FFMPEG side however the latest VLC in their Git
 repository works with it. I am the Gentoo proxy-maintainer for VLC, and I
 have looked at the changes to make VLC 2.2.x work with FFMPEG 3.0, and
 they're not trivial or backwards compatible. My recommendation for folks
 on Gentoo at least is to use VLC-9999 (the Gentoo name of the latest
 upstream commit) if you need FFMPEG 3.0. One other thing to note is that
 FFMPEG >= 2.9 also breaks hardware acceleration in VLC (i.e. vdpau or
 vaapi), and if you need those, either stay on FFMPEG 2.8.6 or switch to
 libav.
