I did compile ffmpeg from svn. medibuntu repositories for karmic don't
have ffmpeg
Here's what I did
svn checkout svn://svn.ffmpeg.org/ffmpeg/trunk ffmpeg
cd ffmpeg
./configure --enable-nonfree --enable-gpl --enable-pthreads
--enable-libopencore-amrnb --enable-libopencore-amrwb
--enable-version3 --enable-libmp3lame --enable-libxvid
make && make install

I could not enable libx264 as ffmpeg required x264 to be greater than
0.78 compared to 0.67 and 0.65 available in the repositories. FYI, i
have svn release 20428.
