Those 6 packages do not look maintained and have different issues.
avifile: superseded by ffmpeg, xine and, yet to be in portage due some
packing issue (it has to be snapshotted as ffmpeg), mlt.
vcr: superseded by mplayer/mencoder and ffmpeg, not maintained anymore?
zphoto: not maintained I'm afraid.
drip: not maintained, superseded by different mencoder front-ends
divx4linux: superseded by ffmpeg and xvid
quicktime4linux: superseded by libquicktime
There are some ebuild that could depend on avifile or seems to have
avifile as an hard dependency (jahshaka to name an actively developed
one) but looks like it could be replaced.
expected phase out time: 25 days.
If you are against that please speak now.
