How to get --codec libav support?

[dtbaker]

Hey I saw someone post about --codec libav --libav-format mpegts in a forum thread somewhere, that's super exciting! If I can get this working I can remove my ffmpeg dependency.

How do I get this updated version on Raspberry Pi?

$ apt-get update && apt-get upgrade
$ cat /etc/issue
Debian GNU/Linux 11 \n \l
$ libcamera-vid -t 0 --codec libav 
ERROR: *** Unrecognised codec libav ***
$ libcamera-vid --version
libcamera-apps build: 54a781dffdd1 01-03-2023 (17:53:36)
libcamera build: v0.0.4+22-923f5d70

thanks 🙇
