LMFAOOOOOOOOO ahahahahhahaha i have the same problem thanks for helping im going to try another test run. Heres my error (it views fine in ubuntu video players once youtube transcodes it it messes up) we have the same theme installed btw. Kinda ironic. :) watch?v=bgesiHRTXxk
at first it seems that the error is with the new version of libtheora (as reverting to an older version fixes the problem). on further review, it seems that the bug is with recordmydesktop and always has been. recordmydesktop is giving odd instructions to the codec (from redhat bugzilla: the encoder must use the highest configurable precision..yet that it can't use more than 45kbit/sec.) the old libtheora would ignore this request, the new does not resulting in odd video ouput.
It worked! Thank you, thank you :) I was getting rather frustrated because everything works just fine with Linux Mint 8 but I also have Ubuntu 10.4 and I couldn't understand why the Ubuntu captures were going blurry when I uploaded them to YouTube. I thought it was down to a whole load of codecs I'd installed - I even did a reinstall to try and solve the problem (didn't work obviously :) Once again many thanks for that :)
@TheShowThatSUX Tried that. As I understand it, the problem is with the new Theora codec that is the default in Ubuntu 10.04. Using xvidcap and encoding straight to mpeg is hit or miss on my system.
@brtidwell55 OK I just use PITiVi to convert to a standad AVI. Stuff like this is part of why I am glad Theora is coming onboard with VP8.
In a year or so odds are things like recordmydesktop will use VP8 instead of OGV or OGG. And Google has already released the needed code to make VP8 work right with FFMPEG. So while it will not happen overnight it will be disseminated through Linux as much as every where else.
When that conversion is finished things like this should be non issues

Can you not just convert it to an AVI using a different codec in Ubuntu?
