I use this repository as well. The line in my /etc/apt/sources.list is:
deb ftp://ftp.nerim.net/debian-marillat/ etch main
When I run apt-cache search libavcodec1, I can see the package.
Perhaps you can try installing the etch/testing version or perhaps
renaming your source to "sid" instead of "unstable" will work.
