Re: Pitivi won't encode to h.264 MP4. . .
There's a set of packages whose names start with "libav" and end in the word "extra" and a number. These give restricted format support to FFMPEG and will be used by Pitivi and most video editors and transcoders.
There's "libavcodec", "libavformat", "libavdevice" and others, but if you just search for "libav" you'll find them. Remember you need the packages with the word "extra" in their names.
I try to treat the cause, not the symptom. I avoid the terminal in instructions, unless it's easier or necessary. My instructions will work within the Ubuntu system, instead of breaking or subverting it. Those are the three guarantees to the helpee.
