Bug Description

[Impact]

 * ffmpeg was removed from the repositories. imagination used it to export the slideshow to video. Currently all exports fail with "cannot launch 'ffmpeg', (no such file or directory)"

[Test Case]

 * Create a new slideshow and attempt to export it "Slideshow" > "Export"

 * With the version in trusty, you will see an error dialog stating: "cannot launch 'ffmpeg', (no such file or directory)"

 * With the version in trusty-proposed, the slideshow will be exported to a video file.

[Regression Potential]

 * Little regression potential as exports do not currently work at all.

[Other Info]

 * Fixed in Debian and utopic in 3.0-5
-------------

Tried on Ubuntu 14.04.
All exports fail with "cannot launch 'ffmpeg', (no such file or directory)"

I workarounded it by installing libav-tools and then:
sudo ln -s /usr/bin/avconf /usr/bin/ffmpeg

This is already fixed in Debian and Utopic with version 3.0-5 (Trusty has 3.0-3).

This should be suitable for a SRU, no?

If this package fixes the bug for you, please add a comment to this bug, mentioning the version of the package you tested, and change the tag from verification-needed to verification-done. If it does not fix the bug for you, please add a comment stating that, and change the tag to verification-failed. In either case, details of your testing will help us make a better decision.
