In F10, I think it is reasonable to update. The total download isn't all 
that big is it ?

I did see someone on fedora-list, asking how do a manipulate .rmvb files 
(join). ffmpeg site changelog shows RM 3/4 support on 2008-12-20 or so, 
so that might get the improvements that would improve playback cpability 
for that kind of file.
