Description:
the package libmp4v2 is described as: MPEG-4 library and tools from mpeg4ip. operative word being "tools". However, many of the executables listed at the link below are missing from the install. I believe that the package should either 1: include all the tools leaving none out, or 2) be broken into 2 or more packages that include all the tools among them.

see: http://mpeg4ip.sourceforge.net/documentation/index.php#executables

The lack of these tools significantly impairs the usability of the package as a whole, and there is no workaround short of compiling from source.
This task depends upon
