Bug Description
Binary package hint: mplayer
From Lucid:
$ mencoder -ovc help
MEncoder SVN-r1.
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!
xvid - XviD encoding
x264 - H.264 encoding
$ mencoder -oac help
MEncoder SVN-r1.
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, ...)
From Maverick:

It would appear the maverick package is missing libmp3lame-dev, libx264-dev, and libxvidcore-dev in the Build-Depends, but I can't find mention of it in the changelog, so it's not obvious if this is deliberate.
