We can't use the ffmpeg because of the internal rule.
So we'd like to make the ffmpeg disable and replace to openmax base.
Do anybody know how to do it ?

I think you can disable ffmpeg setting 'use_ffmpeg' to 0.

Something like:

./build/gyp_chromium -Duse_ffmpeg=0

btw, Android uses openmax by default, you may know.

Nori: also, -Dmedia_use_ffmpeg=0

Thiago: Android platform uses OpenMAX-IL under the covers, but does not expose that to applications.  Instead chromium uses MediaCodec/MediaPlayer to decode/playback media.

Thiago-san and Ami-san,

Thank you  for your information.
There is a thing that I'd like to confirm.

Can I build even if I remove the code related to the ffmpeg 
if "-Duse_ffmpeg=0" is set ?

You should be able to.  Try it and see! :)

(Chrome/Android doesn't use ffmpeg, FWIW)
