jeffreylevesque: i just installed ubuntu 14.04 (was using 11.04). ffmpeg is no longer available in apt-get. Should i get a PPA? jeffreylevesque: JEEB, are conversion times the same?
JEEB: jeffreylevesque, yes JEEB: conversion times are mostly controlled by the encoder, and thus it's more dependant on libx264 than FFmpeg/Libav
jeffreylevesque: JEEB, do you recommend ffmpeg, or avconv?
JEEB: there shouldn't be a large difference unless something you need is only in FFmpeg JEEB: and given that you came from 11.04 I guess you don't at least right now have any needs regarding that JEEB: you'll have to get used to the new command line stuff that elenril made anyways, and that's in both
IRC #ubuntu (07/27/14 ~ 9:00pm EST):
jeffreylevesque: cfhowlett, do you recommend avconv, or ffmpeg?
cfhowlett: jeffreylevesque ffmpeg still runs fine for me and is supported in US. Could be that the deprecate message needs updating/deleteing cfhowlett jeffreylevesque run a terminal: apt-cache show libav-tools you'll get valuable info.
We installed avconv:
$ sudo apt-get install libav-tools
and will need to make respective changes within our bash script, converter_wav_rate
.
Since our developing environment has changed to Ubuntu Server 14.04, a simple installation of ffmpeg is no longer possible:
Therefore, we need to either install ffmpeg through a ppa, or install it's equivalent avconv.
