The version of libavcodec-extra-52 is "4:0.5+svn20090706-2ubuntu3". I
reported this bug on my lucid desktop (so I could use ubuntu-bug),
however the server doing the encoding is karmic. ('ubuntu-restricted-
extra' is at version 36).

ffmpeg should be installable from apt with x264/h264 support
I installed the ubuntu-restricted-extras package, as you suggested, and
I still have the same problem. I followed the ubuntu forums guide to
recompile ffmpeg & x264 and that worked.
For the record the command I am trying to do:
ffmpeg -i './file.vob' -f mpegts -acodec libmp3lame -ar 48000 -ab 640
the correct fix is to install the package 'ubuntu-restricted-extras',
which will install 'libavcodec-extra-52' as dependency. This package is
linked against libx264 and therefore capable to encode to h264.
