Right. It should say "working open source audio and video". The formats supported are only the open source formats like ogg and matroska. The reason is so that if you want to sell what you bundle, you aren't restricted under a license. Note that if you use FFMPEG, you are restricted under the GPL license and cannot legally sell what you bundle without providing full source code.

You're correct. It should be a setting to download from an external source.
