Details

it seems that mp4v2 (now called libmp4v2 in the distribution) isn't only a library, but the package contains several binaries. The lib prefix feels a bit misleading somehow and isn't being used upstream either. I suggest renaming the package to mp4v2 and add provides=('libmp4v2') to the PKGBUILD in the process.
This task depends upon

Debian/Ubuntu and Fedora also call the library libmp4v2 (the same thing we are using). Recommending this ticket be closed as it is still primarily a library even though it does include some binaries.

Actually it seems Debian splits this package between utils and libs. Lets leave this for the maintainer to decide/deal with.
