Title:
  OpenShot Encode video fails, but libraries installed

Status in OpenShot Video Editor:
  Invalid

Bug description:
  I am a new OpenShot user on an eeePC 1000 running Ubuntu:
  Linux 2.6.32-38-generic #83-Ubuntu SMP Wed Jan 4 11:13:04 UTC 2012 i686 GNU/Linux

  First test to try it the software: I import some video clips to a new
  project, lay them on the timeline, and attempt to export the video.

  I select web, and various options, but by the time I hit the last one,
  "quality", I get an error message:

  [BEGIN ERROR]
  The following formats/codecs are missing from your system:

  libx264
  libmp3lame

  You will not be able to use the selected export profile.  You will need to install the missing formats/codecs or choose a different export profile.
  [END ERROR]

  However, these libraries appear to be installed, at least  to the best knowledge of the provided Synaptic package manager (GUI). "apt-get -install" didn't find these packages by name:
    507  sudo apt-get install  libx264
    508  sudo apt-get install  libmp3lame
  E: Couldn't find package libx264
  E: Couldn't find package libmp3lame

  In Synaptic I have already installed:

  1. libx264 [it won't let me paste the technical description but in
  properties it says "2:0.85.1448+git1a6d32-4" and that it's the
  installed and latest available version:

  x264 video coding library

  libx264 is an advanced encoding library for creating H.264 (MPEG-4 AVC)
  video streams.

  This package contains the libx264 shared library.

  2. libmp3lame: actually it's called libmp3lame0 here.
  Again, latest available version is the installed: 3.98.2+debian-0ubuntu3

  Thanks for any help understanding why!

  Moreover, I can't get rid of the export window (cancel doesn't work). -- Oh, whups, the error window had come up again and was hidden. (A different problem.)

  This happens on a freshly rebooted system with only the OpenShot
  application open.
