** Description changed: Steps to reproduce: 1. Open Audacity and bring up the preferences dialog (menubar > Edit > Preferences...) 2. Go to Libraries and look up "FFmpeg Import/Export Library", you will find the following message: "FFmpeg Library Version: FFmpeg support not complied in" What was expected: That FFmpeg support was compiled in and/or one could choose which program to use with the locate button. Background: The ffmpeg package has been removed from the repositories in 14.04, which might have lead to this change. However, ffmpeg has only been a transitional package in prior releases since the libav project (a ffmpeg fork) was announced (an integrated in Ubuntu). I repeat: The is no reason to strip this feature from Audacity by not compiling it with ffmpeg support, just because a transitional(!) package was finally removed. Hint: The equivalent of the ffmpeg binary is named avconv. What needs to be done: - Patch reenable FFmpeg support and patch Audacity to use libav. + Reenable FFmpeg support and patch Audacity to use libav.
