As suggested in your link, I installed the package "libavformat-extra",
and that fixed the problem. Thanks!

I installed Openshot through the package manager (PPA). It seems like
Openshot's .deb should have been configured to install libavformat-extra
automatically, along with all the other prerequisites. Should I file a
separate bug along those lines?

Status in OpenShot Video Editor: New

Bug description:
OS: Ubuntu 9.10
Installation method: PPA
OpenShot version: 1.1.2

I tried to export an unsaved project, with the following settings:

Profile: Web
Target: YouTube-HD
Video Profile: HDV 720 30p
Quality: High


Upon selecting the final option (Quality: High), I immediately got the following error pop-up, even before hitting the "Export Video" button:

"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."

However, these libraries are installed (via Ubuntu's apt-get), under the paths:
/usr/lib/libx264.so.67
/usr/lib/libmp3lame.so.0
/usr/lib/libmp3lame.so.0.0.0

Adding soft-links to the above libraries in usr/local/lib called libx264.so and libmp3lame.so didn't fix the problem.
