I'm doing a bit of bug clean up here. Bug #508524 claims that there was
an mpeg4 encoder in etch. That's impossible, ffmpeg never had an mpeg4
encoder. What is true is that libavcodec can use libx264 for mpeg4
encoding. This encoder is called 'libx264', not 'mpeg4'. We can enable
the 'libx264' codec as soon x264 enters unstable (again), see the
removal bug #423250 and #522373 for progress on that front.

For the mpeg2video, this is in effect blocked by #522373 as well. I
therefore think it makes sense to merge these two bugs.
