去查了一下，原來 ffmpeg 這個專案出現了分支叫做 avconv，然後幫 Debian 和 Ubuntu 包 ffmpeg package 的維護者們跟 avconv 的開發者是同一群人，於是 Debian 和 Ubuntu 目前都是建議使用 abconv 了。
大略用了一下，其實參數都差不多，所以大部分人應該都可以無痛轉移。
安裝
- sudo apt-get install libavcodec-extra-53 libav-tools x264
使用
範例
$ avconv -i input.mkv -vcodec libx264 -crf 23 -preset slow -profile:v baseline -acodec copy -strict experimental -scodec copy output.mkv
參數
-crf (Constant Rate Factor)可選 0-51, 0 是無損，51是最差。預設值 23。通常調教合理的範圍是 18-28。18 是人眼不太容易看出差異，但仍然是有損的。
-present
present 代表包含編碼速度以及壓縮率的一組設定。詳細對應的參數可以使用 x264 --fullhelp 查看。
可用的參數：ultrafast, superfast, veryfast, faster, fast, medium (套入預設的設定), slow, slower, veryslow, placebo
-profile (裝置的相容性)
