Please also try the winff front end for ffmpeg there is a ppa (Personal Package Archive) you can add to your Ubuntu.

https://launchpad.net/~paul-climbing/+archive/ppa

then you can install winff like any other packages in Ubuntu for example using terminal:

sudo apt-get update
sudo apt-get install winff

Hopw this helps
