I find the libraries, but not the program.
Note that the method of ffmpeg installation always recommended by the ffmpeg developers is to use the latest git head version from www.ffmpeg.org. Sorry, but that's not something I'm not prepared to do, unless there is a hell of a very good reason.
1. Most up-to-date on bug fixes
Aka bleeding edge, often experimental.
2. Most up-to-date on security patches
Aka bleeding edge, often experimental.
3. Ability to customise the list of included codecs (including building for non-free and experimental codec support).
Yet more 'decision fatigue'
4. If you need support from the developers (via the ffmpeg-user mailing list), their first response will be, "Please test with current git head..."
That sounds like a recursive loop to me.
You are, of course, free to install it any way you like. Built from source is the only way I've ever used it. YMMV.
Some of us would rather spend our free time listening to music or watching movies than compiling programs.
