To install it :

If you're using Ubuntu 14.04 :

ffmpeg was replaced in previous releases by the avconv program from the libav project.

To install avconv you need to install the libav-tools package:

sudo apt-get install libav-tools

Or use PPA :

sudo add-apt-repository ppa:mc3man/trusty-media
sudo apt-get update
sudo apt-get install ffmpeg gstreamer0.10-ffmpeg

If you're using Ubuntu 15.04 :

FFmpeg Returns To The Official Ubuntu Repositories With Ubuntu 15.04 Vivid Vervet.

Just type :

sudo apt-get install ffmpeg

For more info :

Is FFmpeg missing from the official repositories in 14.04?

Install FFmpeg on Ubuntu 14.10 Using PPA

If i install it from the given ppa, will it be installed with all the codecs? – Arjon11 Oct 28 '15 at 16:48
    
@Arjon11, i'm not sure ! but if it doesn't work, you can take a look at MPlayer, or at How to install the transcoding tools on Ubuntu 14.04 – Bilal Oct 28 '15 at 21:20

And this seems to no longer work in 16.04 – matt Jun 16 '16 at 11:55
    
@matt, I think it's Working, take a look at this : How to install ffmpeg on Ubuntu 16.04 (Xenial Xerus) – Bilal Jun 16 '16 at 19:09
