Yes, ffmpeg is proving to be troublesome to compile :( Andreas Noteng has been 
trying to compile it, wasn't successful, and I wasn't either.
Still, damnvid will fall back to the system's ffmpeg installation if there is 
one (sudo apt-get install ffmpeg). So you should be able to force-install the 
package and most things should work as long as you have the ffmpeg package.
As for python-psyco, it's an optional dependency, DamnVid works well with or 
without it.

Fall back won't work because it's still looking for "ffmpeg-damnvid" before it 
will install and "ffmpeg is already the newest version.":

# apt-get install damnvid ffmpeg

By "force-install the package" I mean to install it and forcing it to ignore 
the dependency checks (with --ignore-missing). That should let you install it 
anyway.

However, I understand why you wouldn't want to introduce missing-dependency 
packages on your system, so there's another alternative: simply run it from 
source:

$ sudo apt-get install subversion python-wxgtk2.8 python-beautifulsoup 
python-gdata
$ svn checkout http://damnvid.googlecode.com/svn/trunk/ damnvid
$ cd damnvid
$ python DamnVid.py --rebuild-modules

I'll update the oneiric package to depend on ubuntus ffmpeg until this is 
resolved.
