Additional comments

Cell 1 gives a warning:

/usr/local/lib/python3.11/site-packages/pydub/utils.py:170: RuntimeWarning: Couldn't find ffmpeg or avconv - defaulting to ffmpeg, but may not work
  warn("Couldn't find ffmpeg or avconv - defaulting to ffmpeg, but may not work", RuntimeWarning)

Cell 2 renders.

Cell 3 gives an error: https://pastebin.com/KHejrpJ1

Does removing the quality options (-qm) from the magic command resolve the issue? You can alternatively set the render quality preset via config.quality = "medium_quality".

I get exactly the same Couldn't find ffmpeg or avconv message when trying to follow the quickstart in which we just create a scene.py file (and don't attempt to use Jupyter).

So that part of this issue seems to be independent of whether you use Jupyter.

I tried explicitly specifying the stable tag. The manim docker instructions say to use manimcommunity/manim which produced this warning, but when I tried manimcommunity/manim:stable, I no longer saw that Couldn't find ffmpeg or avconv warning.

So you could try that.

The latest image does not need ffmpeg/avconf any longer: while the warning is printed, it should be inconsequential.

The issue here is mainly about the error in step 3.
