It's a good thing the ffmpeg developers are an unbiased source of information about bugs in libav.

I have been informed by ffmpeg people that avconv currently contains several hundred of open bugs that don't get fixed. After all, it seems somewhat questionable that ffmpeg has been replaced by avconv in ubuntu. I'd like to propose to offer both (ffmpeg and avconv) for some time, to compare and to see what's more stable and reliable. regards ProblemType: Bug DistroRelease: Ubuntu 14.04 Package: libav-tools 6:9.13-0ubuntu0.14.04.1 ProcVersionSignature: Ubuntu 3.13.0-29.53-generic 3.13.11.2 Uname: Linux 3.13.0-29-generic x86_64 NonfreeKernelModules: zfs zunicode zavl zcommon znvpair ApportVersion: 2.14.1-0ubuntu3.2 Architecture: amd64 CurrentDesktop: XFCE Date: Sun Jun 29 17:15:00 2014 SourcePackage: libav UpgradeStatus: Upgraded to trusty on 2014-04-19 (71 days ago) To manage notifications about this bug go to: https://bugs.launchpad.net/ubuntu/+source/libav/+bug/1335635/+subscriptions -- Mailing list: https://launchpad.net/~desktop-packages Post to : desktop-packages@lists.launchpad.net Unsubscribe : https://launchpad.net/~desktop-packages More help : https://help.launchpad.net/ListHelp
