@chapter External libraries
14

15
FFmpeg can be hooked up with a number of external libraries to add support
16
for more formats. None of them are used by default, their use has to be
17 18
explicitly requested by passing the appropriate flags to
@command{./configure}.

@section Alliance for Open Media (AOM)
21

22
FFmpeg can make use of the AOM library for AV1 decoding and encoding.
23

24 25
Go to @url{http://aomedia.org/} and follow the instructions for
installing the library. Then pass @code{--enable-libaom} to configure to
26 27
enable it.

@section AMD AMF/VCE

FFmpeg can use the AMD Advanced Media Framework library under Windows
for accelerated H.264 and HEVC encoding on hardware with Video Coding Engine (VCE).

To enable support you must obtain the AMF framework header files from
@url{https://github.com/GPUOpen-LibrariesAndSDKs/AMF.git}.

Create an @code{AMF/} directory in the system include path.
Copy the contents of @code{AMF/amf/public/include/} into that directory.
Then configure FFmpeg with @code{--enable-amf}.

@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
49
@url{http://avisynth.nl/index.php/AviSynth+, AviSynth+ r1718 or higher} for 32-bit and 64-bit builds.
50 51 52 53

For Linux and OS X, the supported AviSynth variant is
@url{https://github.com/avxsynth/avxsynth, AvxSynth}.

54 55 56 57 58 59 60 61 62 63 64 65 66 67 68
@float NOTE
In 2016, AviSynth+ added support for building with GCC. However, due to
the eccentricities of Windows' calling conventions, 32-bit GCC builds
of AviSynth+ are not compatible with typical 32-bit builds of FFmpeg.

By default, FFmpeg assumes compatibility with 32-bit MSVC builds of
AviSynth+ since that is the most widely-used and entrenched build
configuration.  Users can override this and enable support for 32-bit
GCC builds of AviSynth+ by passing @code{-DAVSC_WIN32_GCC32} to
@code{--extra-cflags} when configuring FFmpeg.

64-bit builds of FFmpeg are not affected, and can use either MSVC or
GCC builds of AviSynth+ without any special flags.

@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 Chromaprint

FFmpeg can make use of the Chromaprint library for generating audio fingerprints.
Pass @code{--enable-chromaprint} to configure to
enable it. See @url{https://acoustid.org/chromaprint}.

@section codec2

FFmpeg can make use of the codec2 library for codec2 decoding and encoding.
There is currently no native decoder, so libcodec2 must be used for decoding.

Go to @url{http://freedv.org/}, download "Codec 2 source archive".
Build and install using CMake. Debian users can install the libcodec2-dev package instead.
Once libcodec2 is installed you can pass @code{--enable-libcodec2} to configure to enable it.

The easiest way to use codec2 is with .c2 files, since they contain the mode information required for decoding.
To encode such a file, use a .c2 file extension and give the libcodec2 encoder the -mode option:
@code{ffmpeg -i input.wav -mode 700C output.c2}.
Playback is as simple as @code{ffplay output.c2}.
For a list of supported modes, run @code{ffmpeg -h encoder=libcodec2}.
Raw codec2 files are also supported.
To make sense of them the mode in use needs to be specified as a format option:
@code{ffmpeg -f codec2raw -mode 1300 -i input.raw output.wav}.

103 104 105 106 107 108 109 110 111 112 113

Go to @url{https://github.com/pkuvcl/davs2} and follow the instructions for
installing the library. Then pass @code{--enable-libdavs2} to configure to
enable it.

@float NOTE
libdavs2 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.

@section Game Music Emu
115

116 117 118
FFmpeg can make use of the Game Music Emu library to read audio from supported video game
music file formats. Pass @code{--enable-libgme} to configure to
enable it. See @url{https://bitbucket.org/mpyne/game-music-emu/overview}.

@section Intel QuickSync Video
121

122 123 124
FFmpeg can use Intel QuickSync Video (QSV) for accelerated decoding and encoding
of multiple codecs. To use QSV, FFmpeg must be linked against the @code{libmfx}
dispatcher, which loads the actual decoding libraries.

125

126 127 128 129
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.

Spun off Google Android sources, OpenCore, VisualOn and Fraunhofer
libraries provide encoders for a number of audio codecs.
176

177 178 179
@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
180
incompatible to the LGPL version 2.1 and GPL version 2. You have to
181
upgrade FFmpeg's license to LGPL version 3 (or if you have enabled
182 183 184
GPL components, GPL version 3) by passing @code{--enable-version3} to configure in
order to use it.

185 186 187 188
The license of the Fraunhofer AAC library is incompatible with the GPL.
Therefore, for GPL builds, you have to pass @code{--enable-nonfree} to
configure in order to use it. To the best of our knowledge, it is
compatible with the LGPL.

FFmpeg can make use of the OpenCORE libraries for AMR-NB
194 195 196 197 198 199 200 201 202
decoding/encoding and AMR-WB decoding.

Go to @url{http://sourceforge.net/projects/opencore-amr/} and follow the

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 OpenJPEG

FFmpeg can use the OpenJPEG libraries for decoding/encoding 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}.
