So it sounds like it can technically be in Fedora, from what you are
saying. Does that mean it can actually startup and accept input without
mencoder installed ?
Can it do anything useful at all (eg output to an open format like ogg ?
If so, maybe it would be reasonable to have the application itself in
Fedora, and separately package PhotoFilmStrip-mencoder/bad in RPMFusion
(which is designed to bring in the Requires: as needed for full
functionality ?
Asking on the Fedora packaging list should get a definite answer.

Hello David,
I asked for advice to the list, and this is the reply that I got:
------
Since the program is unable to perform its primary function without
mencoder I'm pretty sure the following guideline [1] applies:
"...packages which are not functional or useful without code or
packages
from third-party sources are not acceptable for inclusion in Fedora."

Cheers,
Mario
