Audio LAVC, couldn't find encoder for codec mp3.

[Troy Engel]

Fedora 7 - trying to re-encode some videos for my BlackBerry, I now get 
this output:

   Audio LAVC, couldn't find encoder for codec mp3.

My commandline:  mencoder <INFILE> -o <OUTFILE> -of avi -ovc lavc -oac 
lavc -lavcopts vcodec=mpeg4:vbitrate=230:acodec=mp3:abitrate=64 -vf 
scale=320:180

This worked perfectly on FC6, I wrote a scriptlet that's used by a lot 
of people - I'm trying to re-encode the same source videos to a new, 
different resolution. A Google search returns two promising hits that 
something changed in mencoder/mplayer CVS:

http://lists.mplayerhq.hu/pipermail/mplayer-users/2005-November/056803.html

Those threads are old, but seem to mirror the exact situation that I 
have now - lame (and every other audio/video package you can think of) 
is installed, and this same problem happens on two different FC7 machines.

Anyone have an idea where to go from here? Is this something that could 
be fixed in the RPMs, or....?

thx,
-te
