How to convert YouTube videos to DivX or XviD

Have tried using the Mencoder script for conversion of Youtube vids, but unfortunately, despite having everything correctly installed, from ffmpeg to lame, and using a prebuilt version of Mencoder (note I have also tried this with a home compiled version of Mencoder as well), it causes Mencoder to do one of 2 things:

It either generates a file which has a file size of absolutely sod all, or
It causes Mencoder to Segfault (SIGSEGV / Signal 11).

I am running Mandriva 2007.0 on a custom system (i686/libc6)

Any more suggestions: Can't dl them straight from net as no access in home. Need to convert what I already have so I can watch them.
