[Scummvm-devel] Dropping MPEG2 code?

[Andre Heider]

Hi,

I already dropped MPEG2 support from the Wii port recently. I mentioned it the "SVN builds" topic on the forums and 
nobody complained so far ;)

While there's still memory to work with on a build with all engines (don't have numbers, though), there's a limit too. 
It also simplified the build intructions :)
