there are errors in pod document files with strange unrecognized symbols

doc/ffmpeg.pod around line 1642: Non-ASCII character seen before =encoding in '720?576'. Assuming UTF-8
POD document had syntax errors at /usr/local/ActivePerl-5.14/site/bin/pod2man line 69.
make: * [doc/ffmpeg.1] Error 255

2.
doc/ffmpeg-filters.pod around line 6428: Non-ASCII character seen before =encoding in '8?8'. Assuming UTF-8

commit d11ac64ecf03f7896ebc5e776e078fdc1f0543a4

    doc: replace '×' symbol with 'x'
    
    Non-ascii chars are not correctly rendered in both MAN and HTML output or
    may even cause compilation failure. Thus avoid to use them until we find
    a satisfying way to deal with them.
    
    Fix trac ticket #2243.

Thanks for the report.
