Stefan is correct that gcc auto-vectorization will not give any significant gain 
in acceleration of the video encoders. Moreover, if you are thinking of encoding 
on mobile devices, you need to spend several months writing/optimizing encoder 
using NEON, and end of day you might end up with something which is not realtime 
encoding. FFMPEG's usefulness is limited to Desktop PCs. You may contact some 
codec company which provides encoder on iPhone or Android. That should help.
