Well, if you just want to convert your movie from one format to another, because you want to play the movie on an external device: your cell-phone, playstation, dvd-player, or rockbox (whatever that is), you only need the converter, i.e. the unstripped ffmpeg. You don't need plugins, fonts or unrar to do that (as far as I can tell). I think, looking at the the winff-forum [1], this is an important usecase for winff (ffmpeg gui) users. Basically, I want to suggest/recommend libavcodec-extra-XX for winff, but because XX can (and thus will) change it would be nice to have some package-name without the soname.
