Comment 2 for bug 578001

Damnvid currently depends on a unredistributable ffmpeg build, and thus cannot be included in Ubuntu. I have however found it to work fine with official ubuntu ffmpeg build and the correct codecs.
A working package can be found in the official damnvid ppa. To use:
sudo apt-add-repository ppa:damnvid/ppa
sudo apt-get update
sudo apt-get install damnvid
