Is graph2dot available in Ubuntu 17.10
graph2dot is mentioned in man ffmpeg-filters, but isn't in the FFmpeg package or its dependencies, including libavfilters6.
I've installed FFmpeg, but get "graph2dot: command not found" when I try to run it.
Is it still in Ubuntu, and if so, where?
Per request:
[root@kaga ~]# apt-cache policy ffmpeg

The application graph2dot is not available as part of Artful Aardvark's FFmpeg package. However it is pretty straightforward to build your own copy using the following few steps. (My suspicion is that graph2dot is reasonably FFmpeg-version agnostic but we will use the same major version of FFmpeg that comes with Artful, to be sure...)
1. Compile & install graph2dot:
Open a Terminal window and run the following single command:
sudo apt-get install build-essential yasm && \
mkdir $HOME/graph2dot_build && cd $HOME/graph2dot_build && \
wget && \
tar xvf ffmpeg-3.3.7.tar.gz && cd ffmpeg-3.3.7 && \
./configure && make -j 4 && \
make tools/graph2dot && sudo cp -v tools/graph2dot /usr/local/bin2. Test the installation:
Now you can test your copy as follows:
andrew@illium~$ graph2dot -h
Convert a libavfilter graph to a dot file.
Usage: graph2dot [OPTIONS]
Options:
-i INFILE set INFILE as input file, stdin if omitted
-o OUTFILE set OUTFILE as output file, stdout if omitted
-h print this help
andrew@illium~$ This has been tested by me on a fresh Artful Aardvark 17.10 VM and should work perfectly on your system as well.
3. Clean the build area:
After testing remove the build directory and its contents:
rm -rfv $HOME/graph2dot_buildAnd have a great day :)
