Dolphin uses ffmpeg to play / show the videos of the games?

It's pretty crazy, I thought my laptop was just too old to play Dolphin.

I had updated from ubuntu 14.04 -> 16.04 and compiled the latest dolphin source, and hadn't realized it could have been from a system library.

This issue was a not so funny week to debug :/

Fun fact: "-O3 -march=native" is fast, "-O2 -march=native" is slow. The difference is an unrolled but still unoptimized loop within VideoCommon which uses AVX256, and so resets the upper bits.
