* Some distributions (RedHat, SUSE, etc) provide incomplete versions of FFmpeg because of patent issues with codecs used by
certain plugins. In those cases there will be some "extra package" provider like [RPM fusion](https://rpmfusion.org) (RedHat),
[packman](http://packman.links2linux.org/) (SUSE) where you can get complete packages (your
distribution will usually provide instructions for this, Mageia puts them in an optional "tainted" repo). The packages
