Missing ffmpeg [solved]

[oneself]

Hi,

I need to install ffmpeg, but I cannot seem to find it.

Code Select Expand


# apt-file search ffmpeg | grep bin
bitpim: /usr/share/bitpim/helpers/ffmpeg.lbin
ffmpeg2theora: /usr/bin/ffmpeg2theora
ffmpegthumbnailer: /usr/bin/ffmpegthumbnailer
pfstools: /usr/bin/pfsoutffmpeg


Is this available somewhere?  There seem to be a few packages that might depend on it (e.g. winff).
But it seems to be missing.

mmh - debian stable is the second alternative

Hi, thank you for your help.

There must be something wrong with my package sources.

Does this look correct?  Am I missing something?

Debian has replaced ffmpeg with avconv, which is in libav-tools.

first, like towo said, Debian replaced ffmpeg with avconv. Nothing is wrong except you need to install avconv instead of ffmpeg.
second, Debian is reconsidering to re-include ffmpeg, that's probably why it is in "experimental"
third, you don't see "experimental" cause it's not in your sources list.

Awesome, thank you very much for your help.
