To install this using the PPA method, open a console terminal, type in, or copy & paste, each line below one by one:

LINUX MINT INSTALL FFMPEG UPDATE

Some people, myself included, depending on the PPA will install the PPA, then update, and install any applications that you need or want from it, then go into the Mint Update Manager, Software Sources, PPA, and disable the PPA, by unchecking it, and refreshing. You can easily disable and or remove a PPA through the Update Manager if you want or need to. There are a few reliable and safe PPA's to get the current FFmpeg, I have two installed, and I have not had any problems with my system by installing these. The 'FFmpeg' programs are very important because they are used by a lot of applications, including browsers.

The repositories (repos, Software Manager, or Synaptic Package Manager (SPM)) are not as up to date with FFmpeg programs, not sure about Linux Mint 18 though. If you run ' inxi -Fxzd' from the console terminal prompt, highlight the results, copy and paste them back here, that should provide enough information.Īs user 'all41' just mentioned, and I agree with, I do not know of any method to get the current FFmpeg programs updated, except by using a PPA. It would help to know more about your system setup. If you are unsure, then say 'No' and ask here, like you did. It is important for all users to be watchful when installing any software application or removing any application (in any operating system), that the process does not want to remove other software that you and or other applications and programs might need. I just read your post and the good replies to it. Hi 'Baldlygo', & Anyone Else Interested in this,
