That's true : Utopic now ships with libav-tools version 6:11~beta1-2, that is
able to encode with VP9 codec inside a WebM container.
Great!
For those using Trusty, there are a few ways to encode with VP9 anyway (without
upgrading to Utopic or running it inside a virtual machine) :
- compile liba
@mossroy:
You should be able to also encode in vp9 now in utopic.

Thanks for the update in utopic.
I now can play videos with vp9 codec and avplay, but I still can't encode
videos with vp9 codec inside a webm container (like in the sample) :
The following command-line :
avconv -i original-video.MOV -c:v libvpx-vp9 converted-video.webm

Thanks Reinhard for this info.
It's bad news for Trusty, but I understand.

Libav10 will not make it into trusty, largely because we did not
manage to get all packages in trusty built against libav10 in time.
I've started staging this transition in

but did not receive enough help with that.
Currently, I'm
I'm not completely sure of the relationship between libvpx and libav,
but it seems that libvpx is a shared library and it has to be actually
hooked up to a decoder, or possibly that libvpx is an encoding libraray

- Trusty is an LTS version : I think that
