vp8/vorbis/matroska (a.k.a webm, the new format from Google).
Actually we should get the terminology straight.
ffmpeg is a binary which uses libavcodec and libavformat. mplayer and mencoder are also binaries which make use of libavcodec and libavformat.
So what we are really talking about are configure options for libavcodec and libavformat in mplayer and mencoder.
LiVES does not use ffmpeg (except as an optional encoder for example for webm format, since the commandline options are simpler than for mencoder).
LiVES will make use of mplayer and mencoder if they are present to decode/encode the above mentioned video and audio formats.

If you can provide a configure command that would produce a non-patent-
encumbered FFmpeg binary and a list of files that must be deleted from FFmpeg
tarball so that it can be distributed by Fedora then please do so.
I have no time to do this and even if I did, I'd most likely be unable
to find all the relevant patents and miss something. Until then, I'll keep
maintaining it in RPMFusion.
