This is due to some inconsistency in xcrysden routine: it checks just
for the whirlgif program, and if it is defined, then the button is
enabled.

The work-around is to define in $HOME/.xcrysden/custom-definitions file
a fake whirlgif, e.g.:

set xcMisc(whirlgif) just_to_define_it

Now this will enable the button, and you will be able to make a MPEG
movies.
