That's great job, Stefano! I heavily use FFmpeg recent days. Last night
I used FFmpeg and avfilter to import movies from my iPhone with 180
rotation. (BTW, why current FFmpeg does not include vf_rotate, while
MPlayer does?)

Sounds really great.

Unfortunately recent days the development of EffecTV is almost stop because
I'm now working on completely different project. EffecTV involved various
people but it seems that all of them are working busy on their own project.
It would be difficult to find a person who can port EffecTV to libavfilter
from this community.

As Niels commented, however, frei0r is actively maintained now and many
EffecTV's filters are already ported. Adding frei0r support to libavfilter
probably works interestingly. Please consider to contact with the community
of frei0r.

Thanks,
