I agree with what Martin said. (despite it will need to be properly tested to
see which components will be disabled).

I will just add that the dependencies are accurately sorted in the dvdrip
program. So anyone can see what should be installed at runtime. But that will
requires some more tweaking and rework the warning/error messages depending on
what are the users needs.

So, as martin said, we can already use dvdrip as a master node. I wonder what
could be missing to submit tasks to this master node. (maybe xine for previews,
but shouldn't be mandatory to submit blind tasks). For now, unless transcode is
installed the program will block, but transcode shoudn't be mandatory to submit
tasks nor to use it as a master node.

Also; despite the name, dvdrip doesn't only take dvd as a primary source. It
can also use files. In this case, there is no need to have mp2 support or else.

About transcode. This program needs ffmpeg; but I think it should be possible
to have a ffmpeg library patent free, which would lead to have a totally free
built of transcode.
Such task for ffmpeg wouldn't be maintainable or will create more conflicts
with the plain ffmpeg library than it will solve IMO.
