Given that bink has been around for ages, it almost always finds a niche of decoding stuff fast for video games.

As a game you will always want more cycles for level loading or whatever else happens in background as you also play that video so bink-like specialized and super lean and fast library will always have a use in that scenario.

Gstreamer is a pain to set up, and when you do set it up it uses tons of threads, ffmpeg isn't nicer either.
