I'm just an ordinary user and the existing message is not helpful whatsoever. I'm using precise and went to transcode a show, and my preset options fail.

ffmpeg -i MB.S08E14.Cold.Feet.mp4 -b 885k -r 23.976 -vcodec libx264 -threads 2 -crf 24 -vpre medium -vpre ipod640 -acodec libfaac -ab 127k MB.S08E14.Cold.Feet-renc.mp4

It took me a while to realize there's all this fork and politics going on -- and find my way to this bug -- and I still don't know what to do, what binary and options to use to transcode again.
