Looks like ffmpeg is better than avconv, but Ubuntu and Debian choose the other side. Thoughts?

there's nothing stopping you from adding the deb-multimedia keyring and installing ffmpeg from deb-multimedia

They choose a side. That's all I'm saying.

so you don't really mean what you're saying?

FFmpeg is bloat.

>Although mpv attempts to work well with both FFmpeg and Libav, FFmpeg is preferred in general. This is simply because FFmpeg merges from Libav, and seems to have more features and fewer bugs than Libav. Although we don't agree with everything FFmpeg does, and we like some of Libav's general goals and development directions, FFmpeg is just better from a practical point of view.
>It shouldn't be forgotten that Libav is doing significant and important development, but since everything they do ends up in FFmpeg anyway, there is barely any reason to prefer Libav over FFmpeg from the user point of view. It's also possible that FFmpeg agrees faster to accept gross hacks to paint over bugs and issues than Libav, however, in the user's perception FFmpeg will perform better because of that.
