Here is my solution 

# Install the libavcodec-extra package using apt-get package manager.

$ sudo apt-get install libavcodec-extra-56

Verify the location of libavcodec.so.54 file path.

$locate libavcodec.so /usr/lib/x86_64-linux-gnu/libavcodec.so /usr/lib/x86_64-linux-gnu/libavcodec.so.56 /usr/lib/x86_64-linux-gnu/libavcodec.so.56.1.0

Create a new ldconfig file with proper path to the shared library.

$ sudo nano /etc/ld.so.conf.d/blender.conf

Add the following line in the file.

/usr/lib/x86_64-linux-gnu/

Rerun ldconf

$ sudo ldconf

Start blender normally.

$ blender
