I quite like WinFF - it's a GUI frontend for ffmpeg:

http://www.winff.org/

You will need to install ffmpeg and GStreamer plugin from the universe
repository:

sudo apt-get install ffmpeg gstreamer0.10-ffmpeg

Then download the debian deb file from:
http://www.winff.org/
[click Downloads]
direct file is:
http://winff.googlecode.com/files/winff-0.41-i386.deb

and install by double-clicking in Nautilus, or from the command line:

sudo dpkg -i winff-0.41-i386.deb
