Well, the time that it worked, I was using it interactively.  I tried
running the logged nuvexport command line, and ffmpeg failed.
Re-running nuvexport in debug mode, it spit out this command line for
ffmpeg:

/usr/bin/nice -n19 ffmpeg -y -f s16le -ar 48000 -ac 2 -i
/tmp/fifodir_23372/audout -f rawvideo -pix_fmt yuv420p -s 720x480

...which returned this output:

When I run ffmpeg -formats, the output includes (I only grepped for 264):

 DE h264            raw H264 video format
 D V DT h264
  EV    libx264

Not sure if I'm making progress here or not...
