Lack of MPEG2-Video

[herlit11]

Hello everyone, i am trying to stream a mpeg2 capture from a tv-card using http. I am using Ubuntu and vlc (both latest updates)

I am getting the following error from VLC:

It seems your FFMPEG (libavcodec) installation lacks the following encoder:
MPEG-2 Video.

I reinstalled vlc and ffmpeg using synaptic. I also checked my ffmpeg installation looking for mpeg2 for video support,

Run this:
./ffmpeg -formats | grep mpeg

Got the following:

DEVSDT mpeg2video MPEG-2 video

I think the D and E mean that decoding and encoding is supported.

The same setup with VLC under windows xp works fine. Streaming without any problems.

Any ideas?
Thanks in advance,regards
