transcode package for stable?

[John Stumbles <john.stumbles@ntlworld.com>]

Anyone know if there's currently a debian stable package of transcode?

ftp://ftp.nerim.net/debian no longer seems to have it.

My sources.list has:

deb ftp://ftp.nerim.net/debian stable main

# apt-get install transcode

Package transcode is not available, but is referred to by another package.
This may mean that the package is missing, has been obsoleted, or
is only available from another source
However the following packages replace it:
  transcode-doc
E: Package transcode has no installation candidate

transcode-doc gives me all the talk but none of the walk :-/


Alternatively, are there other tools I should be using in place of 
transcode? I want to create dvds from .avi files.

(Links to resources for editing and converting video files in general 
are most welcome: another thing I[1] would like to be able to do is 
convert AVIs and other video files to .3GP format to play on a mobile 
phone.)



[1] actually it's for the 13-year old nipper with the flashy mobile. My 
own mobile does phone calls and that's enough for me :-)
