     This is mentioned in the manpage, but probably ought to be in INSTALL
as well--good point.

     This would be wrong, because LZO by itself is a valid import/export
module.  However, I could see the use of an extra --enable-nuv option,
which would generate errors if --enable-lzo was not also given.

     I guess the first question would be, does it work with anything
besides NuppelVideo?  (I'd be surprised if it did.)  ISTR that mpeg2video
produces a raw .m2v stream rather than an AVI file, for the purposes of
later multiplexing.

     What's the exact error?

     Those changes are only for the new module system (NMS), which is
still at an experimental stage.  For ordinary usage, -y works the same as
it always has.

     Yes, that's correct.  Native MPEG multiplexing is under development
as well, but won't be available for a while.
