After the changes over time in Debian, removing ffmpeg in favour of
avconv, I changed all my scripts to use avconv. Now that I really
needed ffmpeg, I finally gave in and upgraded to version 10. Kind of a
pain the change to and and then back.

It still seems to me ffmpeg has more features (some I needed that
avconv didn't seem to handle)

Let's hope they don't change it again.
