Thanks

eg:

apt-get update && apt-get install ffmpeg

If that version is too old for you then I suggest upgrading to the latest v11.0 TKL release (v0.5.1 is in the Lucid repos) or if you want an even newer version then v0.6 is available as a PPA. If you still want a newer version still or you want it compiled with support for additional codecs then have a try of the script mentioned here.

Try on the new v11.0 release. I don't think it's worth mucking around with the old one at this point.

If you have data in your old appliance use TKLBAM to migrate it to a new install. I would assume that it will all work fine but to be on the safe side I try migrating to a VM first to make sure it's all good

If you don't have data to worry about then what are you waiting for?! :)

[update] I have just added some info that you may be interested in, over on the other thread.
