True, but if I run it as a regular user, it gets even funnier:

$ which xvidtune
/usr/bin/xvidtune
$ `which xvidtune`
Please install the program before using
$ /usr/bin/xvidtune
Please install the program before using

It appears some people also had this issue but no solution was provided:

xvidtune always appeared accessible and judging from the below 'c' code the message is internally generated.
http://www.x.org/pub/unsupported/pro...une/xvidtune.c
if (!AppRes.ad_installed) {fprintf(stderr, "Please install the program before using\n"); return 3;}
Maybe an understanding of how the boolean ad_installed is set would clarify matters.

Thanks
