Without mplayer, you would be limited to the following formats (assuming you
had all the other required libs installed):

decoding:

dv (audio and video)
ogg/theora (no audio)
animted gif

multiple images (i.e animation sequences)
generators (e.g. title generators)

external window and desktop capturing

clip imports from other copies of LiVES


encoding:
dv (via libdv)
ogg/theora (via encoder_example)
animated gif
flash/swf (using multiple jpeg)
pdf

mjpeg/pcm (possibly) via transcode



If a user installs mplayer/mencoder after installing LiVES, then they will
inherit whatever functionality is in mplayer/mencoder.
