Outdated ffmpeg. |
|
Well, the version of ffmpeg I'm using is apparently the latest one in the Ubuntu repository (I'm using Linux Mint, which is based upon Ubuntu). |
|
CC-kun has kindly pointed me at https://www.itzgeek.com/how-tos/linux/ubuntu-how-tos/how-to-install-ffmpeg-on-ubuntu-18-04-ubuntu-16-04-linux-mint-19.html I will try using that recipe. |

Description
WRITE DESCRIPTION HERE
I'm attempting to download a video from the BBC site. Seeing that a previous report of this problem resulted in advice to update ffmpeg, I took a look at the version I have installed. The Synaptic package manager indicates that the version I have is the most recent one available. The command itself says:
ffmpeg version 2.8.15-0ubuntu0.16.04.1 Copyright (c) 2000-2018 the FFmpeg developers
built with gcc 5.4.0 (Ubuntu 5.4.0-6ubuntu1~16.04.10) 20160609
