The file is /usr/local/share/nuvexport/export/ffmpeg.pm

Around line 172:
Change

    # Unknown, just return the parameter
        return param_pair($param, $value);
    }

To:

    # Unknown, just return the parameter
        return param_pair('b',              $value) if ($param eq
'bit_rate');
        return param_pair($param, $value);
    }

It's a bit of a hack but it worked on my installation, really it needs
debugging it's due to a mismatch between the versions of nuvexport and
ffmpeg. Ffmpeg keep changing their command line options, nuvexport tries to
compensate but it looks like in the unbuntu version the compensation has
quite worked.

An easier way is to set nuvexport to use "transcode" or "mencoder"
instead... look in the wiki for details.

Cheers

Steve
