Comment(by jm@…):

 Some codecs are not variants and are really needed:
 * lame: provides export to mp3. Needed to export to HDV (Mpeg2 video + mp3
 sound).
 * x264: export to AVCHD (95% of camcorders sold by Canon in 2009 will be
 AVCHD).
 * postproc is needed by MLT.

 Read our recommanded line:

 In video editing, the codecs used in files are unknown and depend on
 projects.
 It can be very frustrating for video editors to lack some codecs.
