Description
I have been tinkering with this based on this issue https://github.com/openframeworks/openFrameworks/issues/702 and I got it to work fine on windows. I even ported over Roy Shilkrots simple video writer http://web.media.mit.edu/~roys/src/ and it runs well, with some updates for depreciated code. I feel like its a bit overkill just for a videosaver addition but it could be very useful for any AV and it supports pretty much every platform.
Currently working on things here for those who are curious https://github.com/DomAmato/openFrameworks/tree/ffmpeg-dev

Research direction
Start by reviewing issue #702, the ffmpeg-dev branch, and Roy Shilkrot's video writer referenced in the discussion. Determine the agreed scope for adding FFmpeg to openFrameworks core and the platform requirements; done would require a maintainer-approved integration rather than only the existing Windows implementation.
