not really but you SHOULD rebuild depending packages

in fact i had .128 in use for a long time even on F16
and patched the source to build so.125 to not collide
with your rpmfusion-packages...............

the number of packages depending on x264/ffmpeg is
low, so i never understood why rpmfusion does not
update both packages and rebuild depending ones
which could be done more or less automatically

i sloved the problems abvoe for me by building
a very recent x264 as static library and ffmpeg
snapshots >= 1.0 with x264 static so i have now both
packages in a really recent version on any fedora-release
