The problem with ffmpeg2theora is that it ships with a lot of decoders
for patented formats, bringing with it all the problems of "intellectual
property". So Xiph.org can't offer a bundle of a GUI with ffmpeg2theora
as official download.

However, if the GUI would automatically download a fitting ffmpeg2theora
build on first startup it may be possible to get around this limitation.
