FFMpeg in Ubuntu?
I'm trying to install ffmpeg, but as it turned out, it's not in the ubunta repositories, I googled it - they write to use avconv, I install it - it requires ffmpeg. Vicious circle. Does anyone know how to install ffmpeg/avconv?
ps Ubuntu 14.04.1 LTS (GNU/Linux 2.6.32-042stab092.2 x86_64)

if you haven't uninstalled ffmpeg yet, then uninstall
sudo apt-get update && sudo apt-get upgrade -y
sudo apt-get install libav-tools
avconv, like ffmpeg, is a simple wrapper around a bunch of codecs. And I would advise you to install ffmpeg (more documentation) using the collection method from source. There are often jambs in turnips with these packages (
What exactly is needed? I use avconv from the terminal, no problem.
Maybe just make a symlink?)

ppa-purge has not yet been canceled, but ... Measure seven times, cut one
sudo apt-get purge ffmpeg
sudo apt-get autoremove
Update Ubuntu! Then install new packages. You have old dependencies, and therefore are not installed.
sudo apt-get update
sudo apt-get upgrade
are the two strongest spells, remember them :)
