Results of "which mythtranscode" command on Mythbyntu 11.04 with
0.24-fixes:

  /usr/bin/mythtranscode

So it is there still.  Having never used it, I can not say if it is
working or not.  A "dpkg -S mythtranscode" command says:

  mythtv-transcode-utils: /usr/bin/mythtranscode

so check that you have the mythtv-transcode-utils package installed.
