That's right. Ffmpeg in jessie is spelt "avconv" [1], which is a fork
of ffmpeg (more or less compatible). Reportedly, there's a genuine ffpmeg
in jessie-backports. It's a somewhat complicated story (the fork
itself and the decision on which one to package by default for
Debian, which went back and forth [2]).
Ffmpeg came back in later distros (sid).

Quite probably avconv will do. If not, I'd try the jessie-backports
ffmpeg before resorting to self-compiling.
