I've got working packages, they're at my ppa for Jaunty and Intrepid. I'm not 
uploading the diff.gz now because amd64 packages show about 40% decrease in 
performance compared to 1.1.2 packages in Ubuntu's repositories (timed 
conversion of StopMotionUbuntu.ogv (in the Free Culture Showcase) is at 5.6 
sec. compared to 1.9 sec in 1.1.2.
 The problem also appear upstream, I tested compiling from source, so it's not 
an Ubuntu package issue.

I'll get in touch with upstream before submitting an diff.gz in this
bug. In the meantime people can test the i386 packages, or I'll do that
later if I have the time. If upstream confirms the decrease in speed is
expected (higher default quality options maybe?) I'll attach it, else
I'll probably wait till the problem is corrected.

Packages are at : https://launchpad.net/~loic-martin3/+archive/ppa

You can test easily with :
time mencoder StopMotioUbuntu.ogv -ovc xvid -xvidencopts -bitrate=2000 -nosound 
-o converted.mp4

Alexander Ponyatykh, thanks for your work. You should hang out in
#ubuntu-motu on freenode irc, there's plenty of people ready to offer
advice and your good work is welcome!

I checked your diff.gz a bit, you should have a look at 
https://wiki.ubuntu.com/PackagingGuide/Complete#Recipe:%20Updating%20An%20Ubuntu%20Package
 and possibly https://wiki.ubuntu.com/MOTU/Videos (see 
http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=JJzM2LNOtWU ). 
I didn't use it though, for some of the reasons expressed in the guide (don't 
reuse upstream debian diredctory, especially when there's already a source 
package in Ubuntu), but also because of some of the reasons expressed in my 
changelog:

  * New upstream release (LP: #306399);
  * [debian/control]:
    - bump Standards-Version to 3.8.0;
    - bump debhelper to 5;
    - add myself as uploader.
  * [debian/copyright]: author the file, each source file checked for author
    and license, forward files with missing/incomplete information upstream;
  * [debian/patches]: drop patches, applied upstream;
  * [debian/rules]: write a get-orig-source target to repackage tarball (drop
    upstream debian directory, change directory name from xvidcore to
    xvidcore-1.2.1);
  * [debian/watch]: adapt the file to the new site.
