You don't need to switch to a different distro to use ffmpeg. What you
are using is not ffmpeg from FFmpeg, but ffmpeg from a fork of FFmpeg.
It is an unfortunate and confusing situation for users, but this mailing
list is for user questions and discussions about the tools from the
FFmpeg project.

You have several options:

* Compile ffmpeg as shown here:
https://ffmpeg.org/trac/ffmpeg/wiki/UbuntuCompilationGuide

This is the recommended option, but we recognize that not all users are
willing or able to compile.

* Use a static build. See links to burek's and relaxed's static builds:
http://ffmpeg.org/download.html#LinuxBuilds

* Use a PPA. This provides real ffmpeg, but is dated:
