Status in OpenShot Video Editor: Incomplete

Bug description:
Running openshot 0.9.43 on ubuntu 8.10 with the following all installed from debs yesterday:

Not sure what version of buildwizard?

openshot-ffmpeg installs to /ussr/local/bin whereas ffmpeg installs to /usr/bin.

The openshot version of ffmpeg (and ffplay and ffserver) crash with the following message:

ffmpeg: symbol lookup error: ffmpeg: undefined symbol: avformat_alloc_context

I am guessing this is some incompatibility with libavformat52. Installed versions are:

ii  ffmpeg                    3:0.svn20080206-12ubuntu3 multimedia player, server and encoder
ii  libavformat52             3:0.svn20080206-12ubuntu3 ffmpeg file format library

ffmpeg in /usr/bin works fine.
