I have to go to work now. If anybody wants to solve this then feel free, but I will have a look when I next get time.

(Looks like siretart already reported this in bug #250054)

I'm on it

This bug was fixed in the package xvidcap - 1.1.6-0.1ubuntu3

---------------
xvidcap (1.1.6-0.1ubuntu3) intrepid; urgency=low

  * Rebuild against libmp3lame-dev as part of ongoing transition (LP: #263876)
  * debian/patches/02_xtoffmpeg_ftbfs.dpatch: Backport a couple of changes
    from upstream to resolve FTBFS due to ffmpeg API changes (LP: #250054)

Is it fixed? I don't know, but I have the following problem with Ubuntu 8.10 (which I have fully updated with update-manager) when attempting to run xvidcap:

I open a terminal window, type "xvidcap", the graphical menu and red outline bar appear as expected. But when I click on the red button to start recording, the program exits and this error message appears in the terminal window:

   xtoffmpeg.c add_video_stream(): video codec not found

This may be a duplicate bug: 250054

That bug is also reported to be fixed, but clearly it is not.

best regards,
Robert

I also seem to have this problem still.

Fully updated version of Ubuntu 9.04

user@user~$ xvidcap

And after i hit the record button it crashes with:

xtoffmpeg.c add_video_stream(): video codec not found

This bug was about a build failure, the comments #6 and #7 are about runtime problems.

hint: make sure you have the package 'ubuntu-restricted-extras' or at least 'libavcodec-unstripped-52' installed. The libavcodec from main is not linked against lame at all, only the version from multiverse is.

Yes, I have the problem as well. I can record the video but I have no sound.
(btw. I have upgraded to the latest ubuntu-version 9.04)
