I downgraded to ffmpeg 0.4.6 and things seems to be working now.  Using the
latest nuvexport script I was able to make a DivX .avi.  I also made an
SVCD, but when I played it on my DVD player the sound dropped out after a
couple of minutes.  I'll try playing the SVCD in mplayer to see if it's my
DVD player, but overall I'm very pleased so far.  Now if only there was a
fast MPEG-2 encoder for Linux!
