UPDATE June 2013: This guide for Ubuntu 13.04 Raring Ringtail and Linux Mint 15 Olivia will provide a local install of the latest FFmpeg tools and libraries including several external encoding and decoding libraries (codecs). This will not provide a system installation and therefore will not interfere with anything such as repository packages.
