Sorry, but Ubuntu's Stable Release Update policy usually does not allow major versions of software to be upgraded. I expect Ubuntu 18.10 will likely get ffmpeg 4.0.
If a particular app you use is available as a snap or Flatpak, it's possible for it to use a newer ffmpeg version. https://wiki.ubuntu.com/StableReleaseUpdates ** Changed in: ffmpeg (Ubuntu) Importance: Undecided => Wishlist -- You received this bug notification because you are a member of Ubuntu Bugs, which is subscribed to Ubuntu. https://bugs.launchpad.net/bugs/1766963 Title: Upgrade Repository to ffmpeg version 4.0 To manage notifications about this bug go to: https://bugs.launchpad.net/ubuntu/+source/ffmpeg/+bug/1766963/+subscriptions -- ubuntu-bugs mailing list ubuntu-bugs@lists.ubuntu.com https://lists.ubuntu.com/mailman/listinfo/ubuntu-bugs
