E:Some index files failed to download. They have been ignored, or old ones used instead.

This is the error output. What's reason for this and what is a good solution?

The links you've attempted to connect to are broken or dead links, and so are no longer supported.

You can solve the issue by;
Installing ppa-purge: sudo apt-get install ppa-purge

...and removing the links:

sudo ppa-purge ppa:kirillshkrogalev/ffmpeg-next
