So, unless you need some particular feature only implemented by ffmpeg, stick to libav since it's the officially supported fork and is as new and actively developed as ffmpeg. ffmpeg and libav cannot co-exist on an Ubuntu installation at this time (unless you install one of them manually). Right now, Ubuntu applications are set to depend on the libav versions of software.īut when you install Jon's ffmpeg, Software Center/apt gets confused because the audio/video player needs dependencies, but different versions of those are already installed!īottom line: if you install Jon's ffmpeg, you have to be prepared to separately install or build from source your preferred audio/video players. libav 0.8.x is as "new" as ffmpeg 0.10.x! Jon's PPA contains the latest original ffmpeg packages, not the libav ones (which are in the official Ubuntu repository)īoth sets of packages have different, incompatible and confusing versioning schemes - and this is a problem because they also share some of the same components, dependencies, etc. See this question for more info.īoth ffmpeg and libav are actively developed, in parallel, right now. For various reasons, Ubuntu ended up choosing libav as the version to include in Ubuntu 12.04. Last year, some of the ffmpeg developers split off and started their own version ("fork") of ffmpeg, called libav. To install this using the PPA method, open a console terminal, type in, or copy & paste, each line below one by one: Click 'Select All' above command, right click the highlighted command, select Copy (or Ctrl+Insert), click in the console terminal window, and right click paste ('Shift+Insert' or 'Ctrl+Shift+v'), repeat for each command. Jon Severinson's ffmpeg is NOT Ubuntu's ffmpeg! Goals: Generate an FFmpeg build that can utilize NVENC, QuickSync and VAAPI-based hardware acceleration on NVIDIA-PRIME-based systems on Ubuntu 18.
