The program you would need is ffmpeg. Unfortunately the ffmpeg target
calls ffmpeg with a command line that only works with a much older
ffmpeg than current ones, so it does not work. If you are able to work
out the problem with the command line, that would help us to fix the
problem. You can use strace to find out what command line synfig is
calling ffmpeg with.

I have now documented this on the download page.

To workaround this, you could install libdv-bin, use -t dv and then
convert the dv file to an AVI using ffmpeg.

It probably wasn't compiled with support for any of the animation
targets.
