Merge all videoplugins into one?

A couple of months ago, some dev here said that they're working on merging all video plugins into one, is it still being worked on?

I think you misunderstood. When they said they were doing a "video plugin merge" they were talking about moving most of the code into video-common so that code doesn't have to be copy pasta into all three plugins and they can all use the same configuration prompt/dialog/gui with the same options available. This was completed somewhere between 6331 and 6535 if memory serves. Although I too might be mistaken, maybe they really did plan on having one video plugin, but then again I distinctly remember one of the devs stating "the video plugin merge is complete". And they (the devs) spent several weeks on irc talking about merging code into video-common right before this happened.

The plan is to eliminate the video plugins by merging them into Dolphin as was done with GCPad and Wiimote.
