Package: ffmpeg Version: 4:0.8-1 Severity: normal I'm using ffmpeg 4:0.8-1 and libav-tools 4:0.8-1+b1 from squeeze-backports (the package maintainer, on the debian-backports mailinglist, asks me to file a bug here too)
# strace -e trace=open,close /usr/bin/ffmpeg -i 'test-orig.mp4' -vcodec 'libx264' -vpre 'libx264-fast' -s '640x480' -acodec 'libvo_aacenc' -ac '2' test-final.mp4 [...] open("/root/.avconv/libx264-fast.ffpreset", O_RDONLY) = -1 ENOENT (No such file or directory) open("/root/.avconv/libx264-libx264-fast.ffpreset", O_RDONLY) = -1 ENOENT (No such file or directory) open("/usr/share/avconv/libx264-fast.ffpreset", O_RDONLY) = -1 ENOENT (No such file or directory) open("/usr/share/avconv/libx264-libx264-fast.ffpreset", O_RDONLY) = -1 ENOENT (No such file or directory) File for preset 'libx264-fast' not found As you can see in the strace output ffmpeg searches for a .ffpreset file instead of .avpreset that is the presets file extension used in libav-tools (all the preset files under /usr/share/avconv/ are .avpreset) Just as a temporary workaround simply adding a symlink (Eg: ln -s /usr/share/avconv/libx264-fast.avpreset /usr/share/avconv/libx264-fast.ffpreset) do the trick.
