Paul Bogmat, > In the package ffmpeg should be ffmpeg, not libav. Maintainer is misleading > users.
it's not as bad as it seems at 1st glance: 1) ffmpeg binary package doesn't stand for complete FFmpeg suite; instead of that, it provides a converter utility called ffmpeg (and possibly a player called ffplay or whatever else); Libav project considers ffmpeg utility to be obsolete, replacing it with another tool called avconv (provided by libav-tools binary package); therefore, ffmpeg binary package is designed for transition from ffmpeg utility to avconv (more to say, in some versions this package not only depends on libav-tools to get avconv, but provides ffmpeg utility itself); 2) the current source package is correctly named libav: https://launchpad.net/ubuntu/+source/libav and not ffmpeg (as it was in previous Ubuntu releases): https://launchpad.net/ubuntu/+source/ffmpeg thus, there's no confusion between them. -- You received this bug notification because you are a member of Ubuntu Bugs, which is subscribed to Ubuntu. https://bugs.launchpad.net/bugs/1020856 Title: ffmpeg vs libav To manage notifications about this bug go to: https://bugs.launchpad.net/ubuntu/+source/libav/+bug/1020856/+subscriptions -- ubuntu-bugs mailing list [email protected] https://lists.ubuntu.com/mailman/listinfo/ubuntu-bugs
