Notes

mdeslaur

ffmpeg-extra in multiverse needs to have matching version libav-extra is built with tarball produced by libav package cannot locate equivalent libav patch, even though 0.8.4 is supposed to fix it. libav 0.8.5 also says it fixes it, but still cannot locate patch

jdstrand

looking at the logic in the videolan patch and the code in ffmpeg, this may not affect the version of ffmpeg in Ubuntu 10.04 LTS
