Hi Marek, I have a similar problem.  I was unable to install transcode
so I used vobcopy to rip a DVD to a single large .vob file.  The I tried
to use ffmpeg to convert the .vob file to a smaller .avi file like the
example in the ffmpeg man page.

I think we get the error above because the version of ffmpeg in universe
doesn't have mp3 support enabled by default.  I tried to download the
source package and recompile with mp3lame support enabled but I couldn't
get it to compile.

I think I need some help to compile my own ffmpeg from the source
package.  Or perhap download a precompiled version with mp3lame enabled.

Any suggestions?
