That gist is mostly OK, but needlessly pollutes your system with unnecessary symlinks. I added a better method in the answer. — llogan, Apr 05 '17 at 23:44

Problem

You're using the ancient, dead, buggy, broken, useless, counterfeit "ffmpeg" from Libav, not a modern, real ffmpeg from FFmpeg.

Solution

Fortunately you can easily download a recent version of the real thing and use it instead:

Download

wget https://johnvansickle.com/ffmpeg/builds/ffmpeg-git-64bit-static.tar.xz

Extract

tar xvf https://johnvansickle.com/ffmpeg/builds/ffmpeg-git-64bit-static.tar.xz

Copy the binary files to /usr/local/bin

sudo cp ffmpeg-git-*-64bit-static/ff* /usr/local/bin

Now you can run the ffmpeg command and it should use your downloaded version.

(optional) To undo/uninstall just delete the FFmpeg binaries from /usr/local/bin.
```
sudo rm -f /usr/local/bin/{ffmpeg,ffmpeg-10bit,ffprobe,ffserver}
```

Notes

You can keep any existing ffmpeg package from the repository for other packages that may depend on it.
If the ffmpeg command still executes the old, crappy version then your current shell session is remembering the old location. Run hash -r or just log-out/log-in. You'll only need to do that once.
If you prefer, you can compile ffmpeg instead of relying on a third-party to provide a binary.
If you only want or need a single user to execute ffmpeg then you can put it in ~/bin instead of /usr/local/bin. Then run source ~/.profile to refresh the PATH or just log-out/log-in (you'll only need to do this once). This also works if you do not have root or superuser privileges.
