Not necessarely. Transcode supports *A LOT* of things, but nothing
prevents you (... I hope)!
to install, maybe under /usr/local, a stripped version of transcode
with only the minimal support
for your specific task. To build succesfully transcode, you will need
- the usual toolchain (gcc, make, binutils, automake, autoconf,
libtool, glibc development packages)
- the core dependencies: ffmpeg libraries (use --enable-shared!) and
libmpeg2 (remember to install the development packages!)
- the other dependencies needed for your task: probably ImageMagick
libraries (again, remember to install development packages!) should
suffice.

The trickiest part is to ./configure and install ffmpeg libraries,
since they supports a lot of formats. I could'nt provide generic
pointers (... without being too much generic to be useful ;)), just
check out carefully the ffmpeg's ./configure output (and use
--enable-shared!)

You're welcome. Unfortunately I can provide very little help for
building stage, but I'll love to help you for transcode part, i.e.
fixing 3gp support if needed.

Bests,
