The native Dirac decoder supports everything the library has and basic encoding support is still provided via the native vc2 (Dirac Pro, intra only version of Dirac) encoder. Hence, there's no reason to still support linking to the library and potentially leading users into security issues. https://github.com/FFmpeg/FFmpeg/commit/a3deeaade32db5a1b736b8d3365e52254f3fa6ac remove the libnut library wrapper libnut is outdated and not developed anymore, all nut developments happens in this repo, so users are getting mislead
