transcode is out of date. See
http://git.ffmpeg.org/doxygen/trunk/group__deprecated__flags.html

It doesn't seem to be in FFmpeg anymore. There's a patch out there for
transcode at
http://www.linuxfromscratch.org/patches/blfs/svn/transcode-1.1.7-ffmpeg-1.patch

transcode looks like a dead project though. I'd tell you to contact their
mailing list, but judging by their lack of commits, I doubt they have a
working mailing list.

Why not just use ffmpeg if you want to transcode something?
