u got mediainfo installed?

Which version of java are you using?

My suggestion is to get rid of OpenJDK and install Oracle Java, OpenJDK doesn't play nice with some java apps.

to get UMS to work properly, make sure you install Oracle Java 1.7(former sun), openjdk is not verry good for some java apps.

download and extract the ums.tgz from the main page, and put it where you want it.

install ubuntu-restricted-extras package
install mediainfo
check and make sure mencoder ...
