  9. @chapter External libraries
  10. FFmpeg can be hooked up with a number of external libraries to add support
  11. for more formats. None of them are used by default, their use has to be
  12. explicitly requested by passing the appropriate flags to
  13. @command{./configure}.
  14. @section Alliance for Open Media (AOM)
  15. FFmpeg can make use of the AOM library for AV1 decoding and encoding.
  16. Go to @url{http://aomedia.org/} and follow the instructions for
  17. installing the library. Then pass @code{--enable-libaom} to configure to
  18. enable it.
  19. @section AMD AMF/VCE
  20. FFmpeg can use the AMD Advanced Media Framework library under Windows
  21. for accelerated H.264 and HEVC encoding on hardware with Video Coding Engine (VCE).
  22. To enable support you must obtain the AMF framework header files from
  23. @url{https://github.com/GPUOpen-LibrariesAndSDKs/AMF.git}.
  24. Create an @code{AMF/} directory in the system include path.
  25. Copy the contents of @code{AMF/amf/public/include/} into that directory.
  26. Then configure FFmpeg with @code{--enable-amf}.
  27. @section AviSynth
  28. FFmpeg can read AviSynth scripts as input. To enable support, pass
  29. @code{--enable-avisynth} to configure. The correct headers are
  30. included in compat/avisynth/, which allows the user to enable support
  31. without needing to search for these headers themselves.
  32. For Windows, supported AviSynth variants are
  33. @url{http://avisynth.nl, AviSynth 2.6 RC1 or higher} for 32-bit builds and
  34. @url{http://avisynth.nl/index.php/AviSynth+, AviSynth+ r1718 or higher} for 32-bit and 64-bit builds.
  35. For Linux and OS X, the supported AviSynth variant is
  36. @url{https://github.com/avxsynth/avxsynth, AvxSynth}.
  37. @float NOTE
  38. In 2016, AviSynth+ added support for building with GCC. However, due to
  39. the eccentricities of Windows' calling conventions, 32-bit GCC builds
  40. of AviSynth+ are not compatible with typical 32-bit builds of FFmpeg.
  41. By default, FFmpeg assumes compatibility with 32-bit MSVC builds of
  42. AviSynth+ since that is the most widely-used and entrenched build
  43. configuration. Users can override this and enable support for 32-bit
  44. GCC builds of AviSynth+ by passing @code{-DAVSC_WIN32_GCC32} to
  45. @code{--extra-cflags} when configuring FFmpeg.
  46. 64-bit builds of FFmpeg are not affected, and can use either MSVC or
  47. GCC builds of AviSynth+ without any special flags.
  48. @end float
  49. @float NOTE
  50. AviSynth and AvxSynth are loaded dynamically. Distributors can build FFmpeg
  51. with @code{--enable-avisynth}, and the binaries will work regardless of the
  52. end user having AviSynth or AvxSynth installed - they'll only need to be
  53. installed to use AviSynth scripts (obviously).
  54. @end float
  55. @section Chromaprint
  56. FFmpeg can make use of the Chromaprint library for generating audio fingerprints.
  57. Pass @code{--enable-chromaprint} to configure to
  58. enable it. See @url{https://acoustid.org/chromaprint}.
  59. @section codec2
  60. FFmpeg can make use of the codec2 library for codec2 decoding and encoding.
  61. There is currently no native decoder, so libcodec2 must be used for decoding.
  62. Go to @url{http://freedv.org/}, download "Codec 2 source archive".
  63. Build and install using CMake. Debian users can install the libcodec2-dev package instead.
  64. Once libcodec2 is installed you can pass @code{--enable-libcodec2} to configure to enable it.
  65. The easiest way to use codec2 is with .c2 files, since they contain the mode information required for decoding.
  66. To encode such a file, use a .c2 file extension and give the libcodec2 encoder the -mode option:
  67. @code{ffmpeg -i input.wav -mode 700C output.c2}.
  68. Playback is as simple as @code{ffplay output.c2}.
  69. For a list of supported modes, run @code{ffmpeg -h encoder=libcodec2}.
  70. Raw codec2 files are also supported.
  71. To make sense of them the mode in use needs to be specified as a format option:
  72. @code{ffmpeg -f codec2raw -mode 1300 -i input.raw output.wav}.
  73. @section dav1d
  74. FFmpeg can make use of the dav1d library for AV1 video decoding.
  75. Go to @url{https://code.videolan.org/videolan/dav1d} and follow the instructions for
  76. installing the library. Then pass @code{--enable-libdav1d} to configure to enable it.
  77. @section davs2
  78. FFmpeg can make use of the davs2 library for AVS2-P2/IEEE1857.4 video decoding.
  79. Go to @url{https://github.com/pkuvcl/davs2} and follow the instructions for
  80. installing the library. Then pass @code{--enable-libdavs2} to configure to
  81. enable it.
  82. @float NOTE
  83. libdavs2 is under the GNU Public License Version 2 or later
  84. (see @url{http://www.gnu.org/licenses/old-licenses/gpl-2.0.html} for
  85. details), you must upgrade FFmpeg's license to GPL in order to use it.
  86. @end float
  87. @section Game Music Emu
  88. FFmpeg can make use of the Game Music Emu library to read audio from supported video game
  89. music file formats. Pass @code{--enable-libgme} to configure to
  90. enable it. See @url{https://bitbucket.org/mpyne/game-music-emu/overview}.
  91. @section Intel QuickSync Video
  92. FFmpeg can use Intel QuickSync Video (QSV) for accelerated decoding and encoding
  93. of multiple codecs. To use QSV, FFmpeg must be linked against the @code{libmfx}
  94. dispatcher, which loads the actual decoding libraries.
  95. The dispatcher is open source and can be downloaded from
  96. @url{https://github.com/lu-zero/mfx_dispatch.git}. FFmpeg needs to be configured
  97. with the @code{--enable-libmfx} option and @code{pkg-config} needs to be able to
  98. locate the dispatcher's @code{.pc} files.
  99. @section Kvazaar
  100. FFmpeg can make use of the Kvazaar library for HEVC encoding.
  101. Go to @url{https://github.com/ultravideo/kvazaar} and follow the
  102. instructions for installing the library. Then pass
  103. @code{--enable-libkvazaar} to configure to enable it.
  104. @section LAME
  105. FFmpeg can make use of the LAME library for MP3 encoding.
  106. Go to @url{http://lame.sourceforge.net/} and follow the
  107. instructions for installing the library.
  108. Then pass @code{--enable-libmp3lame} to configure to enable it.
  109. @section libilbc
  110. iLBC is a narrowband speech codec that has been made freely available
  111. by Google as part of the WebRTC project. libilbc is a packaging friendly
  112. copy of the iLBC codec. FFmpeg can make use of the libilbc library for
  113. iLBC decoding and encoding.
  114. Go to @url{https://github.com/TimothyGu/libilbc} and follow the instructions for
  115. installing the library. Then pass @code{--enable-libilbc} to configure to
  116. enable it.
  117. @section libvpx
  118. FFmpeg can make use of the libvpx library for VP8/VP9 decoding and encoding.
  119. Go to @url{http://www.webmproject.org/} and follow the instructions for
  120. installing the library. Then pass @code{--enable-libvpx} to configure to
  121. enable it.
  122. @section ModPlug
  123. FFmpeg can make use of this library, originating in Modplug-XMMS, to read from MOD-like music files.
  124. See @url{https://github.com/Konstanty/libmodplug}. Pass @code{--enable-libmodplug} to configure to
  125. enable it.
  126. @section OpenCORE, VisualOn, and Fraunhofer libraries
  127. Spun off Google Android sources, OpenCore, VisualOn and Fraunhofer
  128. libraries provide encoders for a number of audio codecs.
  129. @float NOTE
  130. OpenCORE and VisualOn libraries are under the Apache License 2.0
  131. (see @url{http://www.apache.org/licenses/LICENSE-2.0} for details), which is
  132. incompatible to the LGPL version 2.1 and GPL version 2. You have to
  133. upgrade FFmpeg's license to LGPL version 3 (or if you have enabled
  134. GPL components, GPL version 3) by passing @code{--enable-version3} to configure in
  135. order to use it.
  136. The license of the Fraunhofer AAC library is incompatible with the GPL.
  137. Therefore, for GPL builds, you have to pass @code{--enable-nonfree} to
  138. configure in order to use it. To the best of our knowledge, it is
  139. compatible with the LGPL.
  140. @end float
  141. @subsection OpenCORE AMR
  142. FFmpeg can make use of the OpenCORE libraries for AMR-NB
  143. decoding/encoding and AMR-WB decoding.
  144. Go to @url{http://sourceforge.net/projects/opencore-amr/} and follow the
  145. instructions for installing the libraries.
  146. Then pass @code{--enable-libopencore-amrnb} and/or
  147. @code{--enable-libopencore-amrwb} to configure to enable them.
  148. @subsection VisualOn AMR-WB encoder library
  149. FFmpeg can make use of the VisualOn AMR-WBenc library for AMR-WB encoding.
  150. Go to @url{http://sourceforge.net/projects/opencore-amr/} and follow the
  151. instructions for installing the library.
  152. Then pass @code{--enable-libvo-amrwbenc} to configure to enable it.
  153. @subsection Fraunhofer AAC library
  154. FFmpeg can make use of the Fraunhofer AAC library for AAC decoding & encoding.
  155. Go to @url{http://sourceforge.net/projects/opencore-amr/} and follow the
  156. instructions for installing the library.
  157. Then pass @code{--enable-libfdk-aac} to configure to enable it.
  158. @section OpenH264
  159. FFmpeg can make use of the OpenH264 library for H.264 decoding and encoding.
  160. Go to @url{http://www.openh264.org/} and follow the instructions for
  161. installing the library. Then pass @code{--enable-libopenh264} to configure to
  162. enable it.
  163. For decoding, this library is much more limited than the built-in decoder
  164. in libavcodec; currently, this library lacks support for decoding B-frames
  165. and some other main/high profile features. (It currently only supports
  166. constrained baseline profile and CABAC.) Using it is mostly useful for
  167. testing and for taking advantage of Cisco's patent portfolio license
  168. (@url{http://www.openh264.org/BINARY_LICENSE.txt}).
  169. @section OpenJPEG
  170. FFmpeg can use the OpenJPEG libraries for decoding/encoding J2K videos. Go to
  171. @url{http://www.openjpeg.org/} to get the libraries and follow the installation
  172. instructions. To enable using OpenJPEG in FFmpeg, pass @code{--enable-libopenjpeg} to
