That's right. Ffmpeg in jessie is spelt "avconv" [1], which is a fork of ffmpeg (more or less compatible). Reportedly, there's a genuine ffpmeg in jessie-backports. It's a somewhat complicated story (the fork itself and the decision on which one to package by default for Debian, which went back and forth [2]). Ffmpeg came back in later distros (sid). > Perhaps I should just grab the upstream pkg ,directly and > compile/install however necessary? > > I have a .webmd file from which I'd like to extract audio and write > it to an .ogg or .flac file, but I'm a little lost without my old > friend .ffmpeg > > Any suggestions will be appreciated. > I did the requisite googling, and all I find for what I want to do > are instructions for how to do it in Ubuntu with ffmpeg. Quite probably avconv will do. If not, I'd try the jessie-backports ffmpeg before resorting to self-compiling. regards [1] package libav-tools, if I remember correctly [2] https://lwn.net/Articles/650816/ - -- tomás -----BEGIN PGP SIGNATURE----- Version: GnuPG v1.4.12 (GNU/Linux) iEYEARECAAYFAlgXv4EACgkQBcgs9XrR2kYLeACeICpNXPeA3r1JBuuQFnc2unIM 2sYAnRpRlaSloCLSyon86GnyidRayDCP =C6qX -----END PGP SIGNATURE-----
