Surely not. Chromium ships a *private* copy of ffmpeg, more precisely, a fork of ffmpeg called ffmpeg-mt. Debian does not include ffmpeg-mt because of bug #575600 (tagged wontfix). Moreover, Debian's copy of ffmpeg will always be out-of-date.

Installing packages from that repo will break existing packages in debian, e.g. vlc and mplayer. -- Gruesse/greetings, Reinhard Tartler, KeyID 945348A4 -- To UNSUBSCRIBE, email to debian-devel-requ...@lists.debian.org with a subject of "unsubscribe".
