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

So, apparently, the Software Center can't deal with conflicts correctly, thus I'm reassigning this bug to it.
That libavcodec-ffmpeg56 and libavcodec-ffmpeg-extra56 conflict is intentional and certainly not a bug.

I tried but could not bear to put the current architecture of the operating system that I have installed, then take it out and everything returned to normal. I note with regret that many programs that could be installed on earlier versions of Ubuntu do not support installed on Ubuntu 14.04 64 bits. Thank you very much for your instructions.

Same for libavcodec-ffmpeg56:i386

'software-center' is a package no longer included in any currently supported release of Ubuntu so closing as this bug report is no longer valid.
