Are you sure that mpeg4ip is dead?
 From recent MPEG4IP's CVS checkout:


diff -ruN mpeg4ip-20060319/configure.in mpeg4ip-20060525/configure.in

How different is it the FAAD support (of mpeg4ip) from -current- (aka CVS)  
mainstream?[1]

I think that now faad (or faad mpeg4 support) is dead ;)

use your fc4' faad2 packages, remove libmp4v2*.so* files from it,  and  
update mpeg4ip [standalone] src.rpm package
