I am trying to compile MakeMKV for a persistent Ubuntu 16.04 Live USB. One of the dependencies is libavcodec-dev, but whenever I try to install it I am told the package is not found. I search on google and find pages like this which suggest that it should be there. What's going on? Is it because it is a Live USB? Is the package repo limited? I have run sudo apt-get update to be sure and it still doesn't work.

That package is available for all currently supported versions of Ubuntu in the Universe repository when in doubt use Ubuntu Package Search to not only verify a packages existence but also determine which repository it is in. Here's an example:
