FFMpeg in Ubuntu?

Question

linux

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)

Answer 1

if you haven't uninstalled ffmpeg yet, then uninstall

sudo apt-get update && sudo apt-get upgrade -y
sudo apt-get install libav-tools

Answer 2

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 (

Answer 3

What exactly is needed? I use avconv from the terminal, no problem.
Maybe just make a symlink?)

Answer 5

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 :)
