How to install ffmpeg on Linux Mint 17 Qiana?

To install FFmpeg on Ubuntu 14.04 Trusty Tahr, Linux Mint 17 Qiana and etc:

$ sudo add-apt-repository ppa:jon-severinsson/ffmpeg
$ sudo apt-get update
$ sudo apt-get install ffmpeg

Does anyone know why this was taken out of the main repositories?

Linux Mint 17 is based on Ubuntu 14.04 packages. Ubuntu’s choices on packages greatly affect what you have on Linux Mint 17:

Ubuntu replaced FFmpeg with Libav a while back – for instance, Ubuntu
14.04 and 14.10 have only Libav -, but there’s some great news for those who prefer FFmpeg: with Ubuntu 15.04 Vivid Vervet, FFMpeg
returns to the official Ubuntu repositories.

  • MFC程序使用系统风格界面

    ByEric Ma

    VC6默认编译出来的程序在XP下Luma风格下运行也是Windows的经典界面, 有损界面的美观与统一. VC2008默认设置下如果不是使用的unicode也是如此. 本文给出使VC6和VC2008可以编译出使用系统界面风格的解决方案. 1. 使VC6编译出使用系统风格的程序 步骤如下: 1) 创建一个.manifest文件的资源. 在res/文件夹下创建一个跟以程序名加.manifest的文件, 如果程序为test.exe, 则创建test.exe.manifest 文件可由此下载: https://www.systutorials.com/t/g/programming/resultcollector.manifest/ 注意要使用utf-8编码保存。 2) 将新定义的资源加入到.rc2文件中, 类型设为24. 打开res/文件夹下的.rc2文件, 在其中加入如下定义: 1 24 MOVEABLE PURE “res/test.exe.manifest” 其中的文件地址按1)步中修改的设置即可. 之后编译即可, 为了使程序界面可能充分利用系统的界面特性, 可以将界面字体设置为TrueType类型的, 利用Windows XP等系统的屏幕字体平滑特性. 2. 使VC2008编译出使用系统风格的程序 在VC2008下就比较简单了, 如果程序字符集使用unicode则默认就是使用系统界面风格的, 如果选择其它的类型, 则编辑下stdafx.h即可. 最后面部分找到这么一段: #ifdef _UNICODE #if defined _M_IX86 #pragma comment(linker,”/manifestdependency:”type=’win32′ name=’Microsoft.Windows.Common-Controls’ version=’6.0.0.0′ processorArchitecture=’x86′ publicKeyToken=’6595b64144ccf1df’ language=’*'””) #elif defined _M_IA64 #pragma comment(linker,”/manifestdependency:”type=’win32’…
