ffmpeg

On my desktop Ubuntu 10.4 I use ffmpeg to convert videos to a format my dvd-player understands. On my laptop running 10.10 I can't get the same command to work, what package(s) are missing?

ffmpeg -i infile.flv \
-threads 2 -vcodec mpeg4 -vtag divx -acodec libmp3lame -sameq \
outfile.avi

#...snip
Unknown encoder 'libmp3lame'

Using apt-cache search libmp3lame I'm told there exist libmp3lame0 and libmp3lame-dev, both of which I've installed. Using acodec libmp3lame0 doesn't work either.
