In the meantime, perhaps you could include LiVES in fedora, since as I have pointed out, ffmpeg/mplayer/mencoder are *not* required for either building or running the application. LiVES will check at runtime if any of these are available so users who wish to use "restricted" codecs can either build mplayer from source or pull it from another distro.
I'm still not clear on the capabilities that do not eventually require ffmpeg or mplayer. Theora/ogg encoding requires mplayer in LIVES or did I misread the previous post?
