This bug was fixed in the package ffmpeg - 4:0.5+svn20090706-2ubuntu1

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

  * merge from debian. Remaining changes:
    - disabled output decoders: faad, openjpeg, dirac (all not in main)
    - build arm vfp variant
    - don't build depend on yasm.
  * fix dependencies on -extra packages: LP: #418705, #416348
  * no need to remove mpeg encoders in the ubuntu package, unless we hear
    otherwise from some patent owner. This brings back the mpeg2video
    encoder is available. cf. formats.txt.gz LP: #416585
