Have you looked at alternatives like mencoder, of ffmpeg2theora. They work just fine on amd64. They use much the same libraries. Mencoder does H.264 encoding very well, But ffmpeg2theora gives _much_ smal= ler files with good quality. It's weakness is that it cannot handle AC3 (dolby digital) very well. So I like to resample the audio first with mencoder, and then convert to theora video with ogg audio.
