I had the same issue here, same system. It seems Jdownloader2 can't use the downloaded version. So here the solution:

1. install the "real ffmpeg"-package via: sudo apt-get install ffmpeg
2. Open jdownloader2 go to: Advanced-Settings
3. Search for the lines for ffmpeg-binary path and ffprobe-path and set accordingly.

In my system the path is: /usr/bin/ffmpeg
and
/usr/bin/ffprobe

4. restart Jdownloader2 and et voila: you got it

PS: you can find the binary-path of the tools in the commandline via:
which ffmpeg
which ffprobe

I hope it helps!
Have fun!
