\input texinfo @c -*- texinfo -*- @documentencoding UTF-8 @settitle General Documentation @titlepage @center @titlefont{General Documentation} @end titlepage @top @contents @chapter External libraries FFmpeg can be hooked up with a number of external libraries to add support for more formats. None of them are used by default, their use has to be explicitly requested by passing the appropriate flags to @command{./configure}. @section OpenJPEG FFmpeg can use the OpenJPEG libraries for encoding/decoding J2K videos. Go to @url{http://www.openjpeg.org/} to get the libraries and follow the installation instructions. To enable using OpenJPEG in FFmpeg, pass @code{--enable-libopenjpeg} to @file{./configure}. @section OpenCORE, VisualOn, and Fraunhofer libraries Spun off Google Android sources, OpenCore, VisualOn and Fraunhofer libraries provide encoders for a number of audio codecs. @float NOTE OpenCORE and VisualOn libraries are under the Apache License 2.0 (see @url{http://www.apache.org/licenses/LICENSE-2.0} for details), which is incompatible to the LGPL version 2.1 and GPL version 2. You have to upgrade FFmpeg's license to LGPL version 3 (or if you have enabled GPL components, GPL version 3) by passing @code{--enable-version3} to configure in order to use it. The Fraunhofer AAC library is licensed under a license incompatible to the GPL and is not known to be compatible to the LGPL. Therefore, you have to pass @code{--enable-nonfree} to configure to use it. @end float @subsection OpenCORE AMR FFmpeg can make use of the OpenCORE libraries for AMR-NB decoding/encoding and AMR-WB decoding. Go to @url{http://sourceforge.net/projects/opencore-amr/} and follow the instructions for installing the libraries. Then pass @code{--enable-libopencore-amrnb} and/or @code{--enable-libopencore-amrwb} to configure to enable them. @subsection VisualOn AMR-WB encoder library FFmpeg can make use of the VisualOn AMR-WBenc library for AMR-WB encoding. Go to @url{http://sourceforge.net/projects/opencore-amr/} and follow the instructions for installing the library. Then pass @code{--enable-libvo-amrwbenc} to configure to enable it. @subsection Fraunhofer AAC library FFmpeg can make use of the Fraunhofer AAC library for AAC encoding. Go to @url{http://sourceforge.net/projects/opencore-amr/} and follow the instructions for installing the library. Then pass @code{--enable-libfdk-aac} to configure to enable it. @section LAME FFmpeg can make use of the LAME library for MP3 encoding. Go to @url{http://lame.sourceforge.net/} and follow the instructions for installing the library. Then pass @code{--enable-libmp3lame} to configure to enable it. @section TwoLAME FFmpeg can make use of the TwoLAME library for MP2 encoding. Go to @url{http://www.twolame.org/} and follow the instructions for installing the library. Then pass @code{--enable-libtwolame} to configure to enable it. @section libvpx FFmpeg can make use of the libvpx library for VP8/VP9 encoding. Go to @url{http://www.webmproject.org/} and follow the instructions for installing the library. Then pass @code{--enable-libvpx} to configure to enable it. @section libwavpack FFmpeg can make use of the libwavpack library for WavPack encoding. Go to @url{http://www.wavpack.com/} and follow the instructions for installing the library. Then pass @code{--enable-libwavpack} to configure to enable it. @section OpenH264 FFmpeg can make use of the OpenH264 library for H.264 encoding and decoding. Go to @url{http://www.openh264.org/} and follow the instructions for installing the library. Then pass @code{--enable-libopenh264} to configure to enable it. For decoding, this library is much more limited than the built-in decoder in libavcodec; currently, this library lacks support for decoding B-frames and some other main/high profile features. (It currently only supports constrained baseline profile and CABAC.) Using it is mostly useful for testing and for taking advantage of Cisco's patent portfolio license (@url{http://www.openh264.org/BINARY_LICENSE.txt}). @section x264 FFmpeg can make use of the x264 library for H.264 encoding. Go to @url{http://www.videolan.org/developers/x264.html} and follow the instructions for installing the library. Then pass @code{--enable-libx264} to configure to enable it. @float NOTE x264 is under the GNU Public License Version 2 or later (see @url{http://www.gnu.org/licenses/old-licenses/gpl-2.0.html} for details), you must upgrade FFmpeg's license to GPL in order to use it. @end float @section x265 FFmpeg can make use of the x265 library for HEVC encoding. Go to @url{http://x265.org/developers.html} and follow the instructions for installing the library. Then pass @code{--enable-libx265} to configure to enable it. @float NOTE x265 is under the GNU Public License Version 2 or later (see @url{http://www.gnu.org/licenses/old-licenses/gpl-2.0.html} for details), you must upgrade FFmpeg's license to GPL in order to use it. @end float @section kvazaar FFmpeg can make use of the kvazaar library for HEVC encoding. Go to @url{https://github.com/ultravideo/kvazaar} and follow the instructions for installing the library. Then pass @code{--enable-libkvazaar} to configure to enable it. @section libilbc iLBC is a narrowband speech codec that has been made freely available by Google as part of the WebRTC project. libilbc is a packaging friendly copy of the iLBC codec. FFmpeg can make use of the libilbc library for iLBC encoding and decoding. Go to @url{https://github.com/TimothyGu/libilbc} and follow the instructions for installing the library. Then pass @code{--enable-libilbc} to configure to enable it. @section libzvbi libzvbi is a VBI decoding library which can be used by FFmpeg to decode DVB teletext pages and DVB teletext subtitles. Go to @url{http://sourceforge.net/projects/zapping/} and follow the instructions for installing the library. Then pass @code{--enable-libzvbi} to configure to enable it. @section AviSynth FFmpeg can read AviSynth scripts as input. To enable support, pass @code{--enable-avisynth} to configure. The correct headers are included in compat/avisynth/, which allows the user to enable support without needing to search for these headers themselves. For Windows, supported AviSynth variants are @url{http://avisynth.nl, AviSynth 2.6 RC1 or higher} for 32-bit builds and @url{http://avs-plus.net, AviSynth+ r1718 or higher} for 32-bit and 64-bit builds. For Linux and OS X, the supported AviSynth variant is @url{https://github.com/avxsynth/avxsynth, AvxSynth}. @float NOTE AviSynth and AvxSynth are loaded dynamically. Distributors can build FFmpeg with @code{--enable-avisynth}, and the binaries will work regardless of the end user having AviSynth or AvxSynth installed - they'll only need to be installed to use AviSynth scripts (obviously). @end float @section Intel QuickSync Video FFmpeg can use Intel QuickSync Video (QSV) for accelerated encoding and decoding of multiple codecs. To use QSV, FFmpeg must be linked against the @code{libmfx} dispatcher, which loads the actual decoding libraries. The dispatcher is open source and can be downloaded from @url{https://github.com/lu-zero/mfx_dispatch.git}. FFmpeg needs to be configured with the @code{--enable-libmfx} option and @code{pkg-config} needs to be able to locate the dispatcher's @code{.pc} files. @chapter Supported File Formats, Codecs or Features You can use the @code{-formats} and @code{-codecs} options to have an exhaustive list. @section File Formats FFmpeg supports the following file formats through the @code{libavformat} library:
