Can I have my FFMPEG back, please?

It appears that FFmpeg has been removed from Ubuntu 14.04 and replaced with libav which is not actually very helpful if we use Semaphore for continuous integration tesing. However, there is a solution https://launchpad.net/~jon-severinsson/+archive/ubuntu/ffmpeg now we can just add the PPA and install. Phew.

sudo add-apt-repository -y ppa:jon-severinsson/ffmpeg
sudo apt-get update
sudo apt-get install -y ffmpeg libavcodec-extra-54
