youtube - Trouble Installing Codecs libx264 AND libmp3lame

I am trying to use OpenShot for movie making. My ideal situation is to encode for the web HD, 30 Frames Per Second, to YouTube. This works out great as OpenShot has a setting for this. The problem is when i go to use it I get:



"The following formats/codecs are missing from your system:




libx264
libmp3lame



You will not be able to use the selected export profile. You will need to install the missing formats/codecs or choose a different export profile."



I have tried using Synaptic Package Manager and I think I am installing the right "plugins/codecs" yet to no avail or success. I used the instructions found here to remedy:

I know this impacts OTHER video editing software (in other words it is not specific just to OpenShot). They give the same type of error message when i try to use their presets as well.



So in a word "Help!"... Any info is much appreciated!!!



PS - If you know of a BETTER way to do this (another software) that is appreciated too!
:-D
