Hello, I have the next issue, if i install "ffmpeg" from the ppa ppa: mc3man/trusty-media when I open Vokoscreen gives me a error:



The process could not be started. Either the is called program is not installed, or the ffmpeg or avconv call Faulty or you
have not over sufficient permissions to to the program.

I think the problem is that vokoscreen runs livab-tools (avconv) fork of ffmpeg. Is there any way to run vokoscreen without removing ffmpeg package ?

My distro is Ubuntu 14.04 (Unity).

Edit : I found the solution.

I create a symlink (simbolik link).



sudo mv /usr/bin/ffmpeg /usr/bin/ffmpeg_backup

sudo ln -s /usr/bin/avconv /usr/bin/ffmpeg



Best regards.

this solution works for me : this way, any call to ffmpeg is directed to avconv ! however, i wonder .. does it work for all programs which use ffmpeg? is the avconv options-format the same?
