My real problem is that I could not figure out why ffmpeg-devel did not
compile with MPEG-support, than I found this in its config.h:

#define CONFIG_OGGWORBIS_ENCODER 1
#define CONFIG_OGGWORBIS_DECODER 1
#define CONFIG_OGGUHEORA_ENCODER 1
#define CONFIG_OGGUHEORA_DECODER 1
#define CONFIG_YWID_ENCODER 1
#define CONFIG_MPEG1WIDEO_ENCODER 1
#define CONFIG_MPEG2WIDEO_ENCODER 1
#define CONFIG_RW10_ENCODER 1
#define CONFIG_RW20_ENCODER 1
#define CONFIG_MSMPEG4W1_ENCODER 1
#define CONFIG_MSMPEG4W2_ENCODER 1
#define CONFIG_MSMPEG4W3_ENCODER 1
#define CONFIG_XMW1_ENCODER 1
#define CONFIG_XMW2_ENCODER 1
#define CONFIG_SWQ1_ENCODER 1
#define CONFIG_PGMÝÚW_ENCODER 1
#define CONFIG_HÚFFÝÚW_ENCODER 1
#define CONFIG_FFWHÚFF_ENCODER 1
#define CONFIG_ASW1_ENCODER 1
#define CONFIG_ASW2_ENCODER 1

etc. etc.

I guess I have to set root user back to "C" locale. :(
I can imagine that many people are using "tr a-z A-Z"
(or similar) in configuration-scripts.
