From a technical standpoint it is nearly the same as using Wine, however it should be simpler from an end-user standpoint since you only need the mplayer/mencoder binary and the Cineform DIrectShow codec binary.
In addition MPlayer can use QuickTime codecs, too, but you need to set it up correctly in its codecs.conf and I have some doubts that's something you'll manage easily.
Yeah I don't mind building the decoders in when I compile. I'm okay getting the GUIDs and the .ax files, still looking into details of how to make proper new codecs.conf entries, but at least mplayer is compiling now! I think it ultimately just is my solution, not ffmpeg, and I'll just use a separate mp4 muxer
