+  * VideoLink no longer works with the official Debian package of ffmpeg
+    because it does not include the mpeg2video encoder due to patent
+    threats.  Therefore it is now in the contrib section.  You will need
+    to get ffmpeg or mjpegtools from the "debian-multimedia" repository
+    <http://www.debian-multimedia.org/> or from upstream.  End Software
+    Patents!
