Can't install transcode

When I try to install transcode this is what I get.

jason@tangelo:~$ sudo apt-get install transcode
Password:
Reading package lists... Done
Building dependency tree
Reading state information... Done
Some packages could not be installed. This may mean that you have
requested an impossible situation or if you are using the unstable
distribution that some required packages have not yet been created
or been moved out of Incoming.

Since you only requested a single operation it is extremely likely that
the package is simply not installable and a bug report against
that package should be filed.
The following information may help to resolve the situation:

The following packages have unmet dependencies:
transcode: Depends: libquicktime0 (>= 0.9.10+debian) but it is not
going to be installed
E: Broken packages

I tried installing libquicktime first, but it uninstalled some packages
I had installed previously!

I found a script called Any2Dvd-0.34 which is supposed to make it easier
to run video transcodings. I kept running the script and it kept
telling me that there were missing dependencies (but then it wouldn't
stop - so I would interrupt it, install the dependency and move on.)

When it said transcode package was missing I was a little taken back
since that is one of the first packages I (successfully) installed
trying to do this exact task. It must have been uninstalled by another
package I tried to install.

Any ideas?

It would appear not having transcode has been a blessing in disguise.

I was able to accomplish what I have been trying to do with this line:

mencoder -o test_out.avi -ovc lavc -lavcopts
vcodec=msmpeg4v2:vbitrate=1500:mbd=2:tre
ll -oac mp3lame -lameopts br=192
-vf crop=0:1023,scale=1280:682
\[DB\]_Naruto_Movie_3_HD_1920x1024_\[59952117\].avi

I will continue to play with the settings - but I was impressed - it
didn't lose audio sync

Use the aptitude interactive interface to find out what is blocking the
installation of libquicktime0 (>= 0.9.10+debian).

Since you didn't say what O/S you're using, nor what your sources.list
looks like, I'm unable to offer any more advice.
