Bug Description

The latest unstripped version of libavcodec for karmic ( 4:0.5+svn20090706-1ubuntu1+extra1) is missing some encoding codecs that were present in the previous version.

At least the following:

CODEC_ID_MPEG2VIDEO,CODEC_ID_MSMPEG4V3 and CODEC_ID_MPEG4

These are used by package guvcview, but since the latest upgrade it complains that they are missing and doesn't list them on the available codecs.

---------------
ffmpeg-extra (4:0.5+svn20090706-2ubuntu1) karmic; urgency=low

  * merge from the 'ffmpeg' package
  * enable dirac, libopenjpeg
  * reintroduce the formats.txt file
  * reintroduce "missing" codecs: LP: #419103
  * is co-installable with the -dev packages LP: #416436, #418168
  * should now have the proper replaces lines: LP: #418789, #418799, #418807, #323789
  * don't build doxygen documentation, it is not installed anyway

This package is still missing some encoding codecs.
At least it is still missing AAC and MP3 encoders.
Might be a different package i'm thinking of though...

ffmpeg -formats | grep aac gives:

D aac raw ADTS AAC

aac has no encoding enabled.

because of this, vlc cannot encode very much audio...
