FFmpeg has been removed from Ubuntu 14.04 and was replaced by Libav. This decision has been reversed so that FFmpeg is available now in Ubuntu 15.04 again, but there is still no official package for 14.04. In this tutorial, I will show you how to install FFmpeg from mc3man ppa. Add the mc3man ppa:
sudo add-apt-repository ppa:mc3man/trusty-media
And confirm the following message by pressing <enter>:
Also note that with apt-get a sudo apt-get dist-upgrade is needed for initial setup & with some package upgrades More info: https://launchpad.net/~mc3man/+archive/ubuntu/trusty-media Press [ENTER] to continue or ctrl-c to cancel adding it
Update the package list.
sudo apt-get update sudo apt-get dist-upgrade
Now FFmpeg is available to be installed with apt:
sudo apt-get install ffmpeg
