Thanks for the reply:

Synaptics found avconv associated with Winff, which is a converter and does
not list avconv separately so I do not see how to install it from there.
Software also just comes up with Winff.

An internet search did not reveal any way to sub one for the other.  Ask
ubuntu shows a rather complex conversation here:
http://stackoverflow.com/questions/9477115/who-can-tell-me-the-difference-and-relation-between-ffmpeg-libav-and-avconv.
It's a bit beyond me.

Kdenlive seems like a good replacement.  I found this how to video:
