The reason is that ffmpeg was marked as deprecated and ubuntu uses libav 
instead. You can see details in the following discussion:

Hi,
 i know that only in Ubuntu ffmpeg is marked as deprecated, and that's the reason why i put ffmpeg-real as an alternative.
In my 14.04 installation ffmpeg-real is hold by the default repositories.
Have you enabled all Ubuntu Comunity and third party default repositories?
Thanks for the info.
karl.

Hi I just checked my 14.04 installation, and you are right :)
ffmpeg-real is maintained here:

http://ppa.launchpad.net/samrog131/ppa/ubuntu

Now I'll try to find out a solution and let you know.
In the meanwhile, please add that repo to your system.
Thank you very much for the info.

Thanks for the reply. I've installed ffmpeg from PPA and everything works fine.

Thanks for the help fixing WS 14.04 build and for the Feddback.
I think i will put ffmpeg and ffmpeg-real from dependencies in the recommended 
packages under Ubuntu.
After all AVconv does the same work.
Have a nice day.

Changed ffmpeg and ffmpeg-real from "dependencies" to "recommended" for Ubuntu 
builds.
