How can I get directly the ffmpeg version?
Today (12/07/2014) the current ffmpeg release is 2.5 (https://www.ffmpeg.org)
On http://ffmpeg.zeranoe.com site, it is another way to release builts : git-eb74839.
It is confusing!!!
With ffmpeg -version, in addition to libraries versions, it would be great and logical to get at the same time the ffmpeg release.
Best regards

Re: ffmpeg -version
The builds are derived from current git master. Users are recommended to use these instead of releases. Builds from git master are stable 99% of the time and are more up-to-date than releases.
Releases are mainly for distributors (Linux distros, software that uses and includes ffmpeg, etc).
