343 source and without this option it will statically compile the included
344 version of FFmpeg into itself. Dynamically linking to a system installed
345 FFmpeg makes MPlayer and Mencoder about 9MB smaller. If MPlayer exhibits
346 unstable behavior linked to a system installed FFmpeg, try recompiling MPlayer
347 without this option (it is always more thoroughly tested with the included
