upgrade to FFMPEG 5 for kinetic

[Alan Latteri]

FFMPEG 5 has now been release. It would be great to get updated to this version for Kinetic.

https://ffmpeg.org/index.html#news

'FFmpeg 5.0 "Lorentz", a new major release, is now available! For this long-overdue release, a major effort underwent to remove the old encode/decode APIs and replace them with an N:M-based API, the entire libavresample library was removed, libswscale has a new, easier to use AVframe-based API, the Vulkan code was much improved, many new filters were added, including libplacebo integration, and finally, DoVi support was added, including tonemapping and remuxing. The default AAC encoder settings were also changed to improve quality'

Thanks for reporting.

Fwiw, I see that Debian has an experimental package for ffmpeg 5, though at this point I don't know how much testing and other steps would be required for it to land in Jammy. https://tracker.debian.org/pkg/ffmpeg

Here is an initial list of bugs to fix: https://udd.debian.org/cgi-bin/bts-usertags.cgi?user=sramacher%40debian.org&tag=ffmpeg5.0 (more to come). Those need to be handled before switching to ffmpeg 5.

Sorry, I don't think there is time before Ubuntu 22.04 LTS Feature Freeze to handle this major upgrade.

Thank you Sebastian for your work.

[Launchpad Janitor (janitor)]

Status changed to 'Confirmed' because the bug affects multiple users.

[Sebastian Ramacher (s-ramacher)]

The transition has now been started in Debian.
