FYI, Debian has accepted ffmpeg to experimental.

Reports of the libav fork languishing to death and the original ffmpeg actually being frequently updated are all over the place.

[Bug 1263278] Re: Use FFmpeg instead of Libav
Use cases: - transcode camcorder videos into something I can share with family and friends over the internet - sometimes improve them (e.g. deshacking http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=HYE3KAl8RAQ&feature=youtu.be) - automatically build thumbnails and navigation tree of my home videos collection for viewing on different flavours of home media players, ranging from HTPC to tablets - transcode my archived audio collection to support newer media players avconv/libav has been doing an OK job, but has not improved over the past two years. So I gave ffmpeg a try and it is so much better. Moreover, at some point in the Fall of 2013 avconv had a regression and would not properly transcode my live lecture recordings (plain WAV) to AAC. Reading about the fork and the circumstances that lead to the current situation, all I can say is that: (1) competition is good (2) variety is the spice of life (3) I wish both projects well (4) I, as a user, made a choice, and I wish that the debian/ubuntu maintainers of the libav project would respect that user choice. Lucky me, there is an easy solution: https://launchpad.net/~jon-severinsson/+archive/ffmpeg # Replace avconv with the real ffmpeg # www.askubuntu.com/a/373509/165265 # sudo apt-get purge libav-tools sudo add-apt-repository ppa:jon-severinsson/ffmpeg sudo apt-get update sudo apt-get dist-upgrade sudo apt-get install ffmpeg sudo apt-get install frei0r-plugins # recommended sudo apt-get --purge autoremove -- You received this bug notification because you are a member of Ubuntu Bugs, which is subscribed to Ubuntu. https://bugs.launchpad.net/bugs/1263278 Title: Use FFmpeg instead of Libav To manage notifications about this bug go to: https://bugs.launchpad.net/ubuntu/+source/libav/+bug/1263278/+subscriptions -- ubuntu-bugs mailing list ubuntu-bugs@lists.ubuntu.com https://lists.ubuntu.com/mailman/listinfo/ubuntu-bugs
[Bug 1263278] Re: Use FFmpeg instead of Libav
In the past, ffmpeg was maintained in Debian. Later Debian maintainers switched to maintaining libav. Whilst it is possible to offer both stacks, nobody has step up to maintain ffmpeg stack in Debian. Ubuntu also does not have capacity to maintain ffmpeg stack at this time. If you wish to see a supported ffmpeg stack in both Debian and Ubuntu, please become a developer and start maintaining it in Debian. So far such group of people did not produce such work. Until the situation changes, Ubuntu is going to provide the only packaged and available stack - libav. ** Changed in: libav (Ubuntu) Status: Confirmed => Won't Fix ** Changed in: libav (Ubuntu) Assignee: (unassigned) => Dimitri John Ledkov (xnox) -- You received this bug notification because you are a member of Ubuntu Bugs, which is subscribed to Ubuntu. https://bugs.launchpad.net/bugs/1263278 Title: Use FFmpeg instead of Libav To manage notifications about this bug go to: https://bugs.launchpad.net/ubuntu/+source/libav/+bug/1263278/+subscriptions -- ubuntu-bugs mailing list ubuntu-bugs@lists.ubuntu.com https://lists.ubuntu.com/mailman/listinfo/ubuntu-bugs

You should really back up the statement -- "there are so many bugs" -- with actual bug reports rather than personal anecdotes.

[Bug 1263278] Re: Use FFmpeg instead of Libav
There are so many bugs with libav that it's not even funny. Last month I tried switching my encoding tools to libav just to see how it would function, and it was a catastrophic failure. I also have a lot of issues with any media player that uses libav for playback since it tends to segfault. -- You received this bug notification because you are a member of Ubuntu Bugs, which is subscribed to Ubuntu. https://bugs.launchpad.net/bugs/1263278 Title: Use FFmpeg instead of Libav To manage notifications about this bug go to: https://bugs.launchpad.net/ubuntu/+source/libav/+bug/1263278/+subscriptions -- ubuntu-bugs mailing list ubuntu-bugs@lists.ubuntu.com https://lists.ubuntu.com/mailman/listinfo/ubuntu-bugs

> They can easily be ported to libavresample. With FFmpeg we can have both libswresample and libavresample. Asking everyone to use libavresample is a waste of resource and there is no gain at all. > This would break a lot of software, produce more work for ubuntu developers, and would cause less software to build. Can you name a software that only builds with Libav?
