It's soley for use of the ffmpeg binaries. It cannot cause any issues as installed to /opt, it cannot be used to build against. The inclusion of aom/av1 is similarly useless as aom is a poor decoder and incredibly slow encoder ( I did a very high quality 45 sec encode here on admittedly older hardware ( haswell), took 7 hrs, a less challenging 30 sec encode took 2.5 hrs.Īlternately you could try the ffmpeg snap, probably works ok and should be available to 16.04.Īlso available is a build I have for 16.04, at this point rarely updated, currently though has ffmpeg git master as of today. However they are pretty useless as nothing will use them other than the ffmpeg binary (useless you build sources against them. That ppa should be 'ok' as the shared ffmpeg libs are different versions than what's normally used in 16.04. I've seen others follow the same commands as I used above with Ubuntu 16.04 and they were able to download version 3.3 or higher so I thought it may have something to do with my machine rather than the repository. I have tried adding ffmpeg-4 instead of ffmpeg-3 but I still get version 2.8.15.
