The mpeg2enc in the mpegEncoder pipe in MediaPipe 0.8.9 comes precompiled.
AFAIK, distributing an mpeg2 encoder is license free if :
-distribution is free
-it isn't a product in itself
The mpegEncoder pipe isn't a product in itself, that's clear, but as to know
if distributing mpeg2enc inside it makes it one, I don't know. I guess not,
since mpeg2enc needs y4m input, so it inself, it isn't usable.
