This bug is labelled as "Fix Release" but although some of the codecs are back in the karmic mencoder, several are still missing:

mulberryst:~$ mencoder -oac help -ovc help
MEncoder SVN-r29237-4.4.0 (C) 2000-2009 MPlayer Team

Available codecs:
   copy - frame copy, without re-encoding (useful for AC3)
   pcm - uncompressed PCM audio
   mp3lame - cbr/abr/vbr MP3 using libmp3lame
   lavc - FFmpeg audio encoder (MP2, AC3, ...)
   faac - FAAC AAC audio encoder

Available codecs:
   copy - frame copy, without re-encoding. Doesn't work with filters.
   frameno - special audio-only file for 3-pass encoding, see DOCS.
   raw - uncompressed video. Use fourcc option to set format explicitly.
   nuv - nuppel video
   lavc - libavcodec codecs - best quality!
   vfw - VfW DLLs, read DOCS/HTML/en/encoding-guide.html.
   qtvideo - QuickTime DLLs, currently only SVQ1/3 are supported.
   x264 - H.264 encoding

In particular, 'xvid' is notably missing, which I think is the cause of bug #413270.

Please re-open..
