How to install ffmpeg 3.0 on Ubuntu 15.10

ffmpeg 3.0 was released in February, it solves an important bug so I want to use it.

Is there any easy way to install ffmpeg on Ubuntu Wily, for instance a PPA?

What I tried:

Xenial only has 2.8.6, just like Debian.
The static build at http://johnvansickle.com/ffmpeg/ are compiled without pulse support, and I did not manage to run it with ALSA
The PPA https://launchpad.net/~mc3man/+archive/ubuntu/trusty-media is only for Trusty, and advises against using it for other versions
I tried compiling from source, for some reason the resulting ffmpeg records in much lower quality, videos are pixelated (console output).

Solution 1:

I found this as a working solution for 16.04.

sudo add-apt-repository ppa:jonathonf/ffmpeg-3
sudo apt update
sudo apt upgrade
sudo apt install ffmpeg

More information can be found here.

The only solution as of April 2016 is to compile by yourself.

The procedure is described at http://trac.ffmpeg.org/wiki/CompilationGuide/Ubuntu

Be sure to run the procedure described at the "libx265" paragraph too, not doing it would result in bad quality video files.
