To start with, note that your traceback implicates the listdir()
on line 12, not the chdir() before it. This listdir() uses the
same parameter as that preceding chdir(), that appears to be your
problem.
One of your problems, anyway. You're doing a lot of downwards
chdirs, but no upwards, which is going to limit the extent of
your directory traversal.
The "from os import *" is a terrible idea, where did you get that?
"os" has a lot of identifiers in it that tend to collide with other
namespaces. "open" is a classic example. Don't do that, with "os"
or generally any module.
As a more general direction, it would be a good idea to look
into standard library functions, e.g., os.path.walk

Depends on what you want it to do, but maybe something like
find . -name \*.mp3 -exec $HOME/bin/cvt .mp4 {} \;
where cvt would be something like
#!/bin/sh
case $1:$2 in
.mp4:*.mp3) mp3_to_mp4 $2 ${2%.mp3}.mp4 ;;
...
You'd have to think about it.
