Comment (by llogan):

 Please understand that this is not a bug with FFmpeg (or fluent or
 Ubuntu). Due to its incompatible license (at least with GPL) libfdk is
 considered non-free which renders the binary non-free and
 unredistributable. This is why it is highly unlikely that Ubuntu will be
 able to provide a build supporting it.

 If you need an ffmpeg build with support for this encoder then you must
 compile ffmpeg. See this encoding guide if you need help:
 http://trac.ffmpeg.org/wiki/CompilationGuide/Ubuntu

 If this is not acceptable then you'll have to either use a different
 encoder, or convince Fraunhofer to use a less shitty license, but it would
 probably be less painful to perform auto-appendectomy.

 This ticket is considered closed. If you need additional help you should
 refer to the ffmpeg-user mailing list.
