You could try this, although I do not use it nor do I know if it offers the support you need.
Download avi & mp4 converter 0.0.2 for Linux - avi & mp4 converter is a Nautilus script that allows you to convert between different video formats. - SoftpediaI do not respond to private messages asking for Linux help, Please keep it on the forums only.

You could use the free program with Wine mediacoder. Its worked quite well for me, but cannot convert all iTunes files (though it did convert most).

The application may be command line only, in which case you will not find a menu entry for it. Rather open a terminal and type "men" and then press tab to try and complete it. Failing this...

Pipe to less if the output is long, "rpm -q <package name> --list | less". [You will have to use apt-cache for Ubuntu???]
Look for a file "mencoder" copied to some directory outside of /usr/sbin, like /opt/ perhaps in the list of installed files. Then run the file from there.Respectfully... Sarlac II

Oh yeh, and if you are looking to convert DVD's to MP4 (you didn't specify a conversion direction), then try "handbrake" in your repository.

Personally, I prefer ffmpeg for video/audio conversion purposes. It's multi-threaded, works with just about every audio/video type known to human-kind, and even though it is command-line driven, it isn't too difficult to use, after a bit of experimentation to get the best results for your purposes.
Sometimes, real fast is almost as good as real time.
