I don't think it's fair to say that OpenShot doesn't need a fix. For the
casual user, with the stock version of ffmpeg, OpenShot just crashes,
woth no indication of what the problem is. This is a HUGE usability
issue, that should be dealt within OpenShot somehow. Here's a couple of
suggestions:

1. disable HD endoding if the correct libraries are not present. Clearly indicate that for HD to work, medibuntu needs to be used.
2. Instead of just closing the program, at least a warning of the problem of the solution.

Just the way it is now show poor QA, in my modest opinion.
