This seems to be the relevant bit. What happens with just ffmpeg -i HopeAndGlory.avi Also, can you play this file on your computer, try using ffplay (its part of ffmpeg I think). Also you seem to be missing in ffmpeg --enable-xvid, which mine is built with. Maybe this is part of ubuntu's aversion to patented codecs. Further thoughts: why do you want a vcd of it? They are horrid things. If you want to get it to play on a commercial player try turning it into a DVD with any2dvd. It will, quite literally, turn any video file into a Video-DVD, with chaptering and so on.
