If you’re getting the following error while trying export a video under several different codecs in OpenShot including AVI, MOV and MPEG using (mpeg2, mpeg4 or h.264) chances are this might help you with that error.

The following formats/codecs are missing from your system:

libmp3lame

You will not be able to use the selected export profile. You will need to install the missing formats/codecs or choose a different export profile.

This is a simple fix:

• Open up Synaptic Package Manager
• Search “libavformat”,
• If the current package installed is “libavformat52″ select “libavformat-extra-52″ (alternativly “libavformat-unstripped-52″ should also work).
• Else the package might be “libavformat53″ so simply change to “libavformat-extra-53″, basically it might end in different numbers, it should work the same.
• Hit Apply and approve the changes.
