Hi John

Some of those options are not needed or useful for MythTV. They are 
FFmpeg options that used to work since the configure was previously a 
copy of FFmpeg configure with extensive changes. To see the valid MythTV 
options you can run "./configure --help".

What is needed to remove the unnecessary options from rpmfusion? I am 
not familiar with that so I have no understanding of the process. I can 
if necessary add the ability for options that are unused by MythTV to be 
passed through to the FFmpeg build, if that is useful.
