FFmpeg is a free software project that produces libraries and programs for handling multimedia data. FFmpeg includes libavcodec, an audio/video codec library used by several other projects, libavformat, an audio/video container mux and demux library, and the ffmpeg command line program for transcoding multimedia files. FFmpeg is published under the GNU Lesser General Public License 2.1+ or GNU General Public License 2+ (depending on which options are enabled).^[6]

FFmpeg is developed mostly on Linux, but can be compiled under most operating systems, including Mac OS X, Microsoft Windows, Android, iOS, as well as AmigaOS and MorphOS. Most computing platforms and microprocessor instruction set architectures are also supported, like x86 (IA-32 and x86-64), PPC (PowerPC), ARM, DEC Alpha, SPARC, and MIPS.^[7]

The name of the project is inspired by the MPEG video standards group, together with "FF" for "fast forward".^[8] The logo uses a zigzag pattern that shows how MPEG video codecs handle entropy encoding.^[9]

History

The project was started by Fabrice Bellard^[6] (using the pseudonym "Gérard Lantau") in 2000, and was led by Michael Niedermayer from 2004 until 2015.^[10] Some FFmpeg developers were also part of the MPlayer project.

The project publishes a new release every three months on average. FFmpeg developers recommend that users compile the software from source using the latest build from their source code Git version control system.^[11]

On January 10, 2014, two Google employees announced that over 1000 bugs had been fixed in FFmpeg during the previous two years by means of fuzz testing.^[12] FFmpeg 2.5, released in December 2014, supports an MPEG-DASH muxer.^[13]

Codec history

Two video coding formats with corresponding codecs and one container format have been created within the FFmpeg project so far. The two video codecs are the lossless FFV1, and the lossless and lossy Snow codec. Development of Snow has stalled, while its bit-stream format has not been finalized yet, making it experimental since 2011. The multimedia container format called NUT is no longer being actively developed, but still maintained.^[14]

In summer 2010, Fiona Glaser, Ronald Bultje, and David Conrad of the FFmpeg Team announced the ffvp8 decoder. Through testing, they determined that ffvp8 was faster than Google's own libvpx decoder.^[15][16] Starting with version 0.6, FFmpeg also supported WebM and VP8.^[17]

In October 2013, a native VP9^[18] and the OpenHEVC decoder, an open source High Efficiency Video Coding (HEVC) decoder, were added to FFmpeg.^[19] In 2016 a native AAC encoder replaced the external VisualOn AAC encoder; FFmpeg 3.0 (nicknamed "Einstein" ) could be still built with the Fraunhofer FDK AAC.^[20]

Components

Command line tools

• ffmpeg is a command-line tool that converts audio or video formats. It can also capture and encode in real-time from various hardware and software sources such as a TV capture card.
• ffserver is an HTTP and RTSP multimedia streaming server for live and recorded broadcasts. It can also be used to time shift live broadcasts.
• ffplay is a simple media player utilizing SDL and the FFmpeg libraries.
• ffprobe is a command-line tool to display media information (text, CSV, XML, JSON), see also Mediainfo.

Libraries

• libswresample is a library containing audio resampling routines.
• libavresample is a library containing audio resampling routines from the Libav project, similar to libswresample from ffmpeg.
• libavcodec is a library containing all of the native FFmpeg audio/video encoders and decoders. Most codecs were developed from scratch to ensure best performance and high code reusability.
• libavformat is a library containing demuxers and muxers for audio/video container formats.
• libavutil is a helper library containing routines common to different parts of FFmpeg. This library includes hash functions (Adler-32, CRC, MD5, RIPEMD, SHA-1. SHA-2, MurmurHash3, HMAC MD-5, HMAC SHA-1 and HMAC SHA-2), ciphers (DES, RC4, AES, AES-CTR, TEA, XTEA, Blowfish, CAST-128, Twofish and Camellia), LZO decompressor and Base64 encoder/decoder.
• libpostproc is a library containing older h263 based video postprocessing routines.
• libswscale is a library containing video image scaling and colorspace/pixelformat conversion routines.
• libavfilter is the substitute for vhook which allows the video/audio to be modified or examined between the decoder and the encoder. Filters have been ported from many projects including MPlayer and avisynth

Supported codecs and formats

Image formats

FFmpeg supports many common and some uncommon image formats.

The PGMYUV image format is a homebrewn variant of the binary (P5) PGM Netpbm format. FFmpeg also supports 16-bit depths of the PGM and PPM formats, and the binary (P7) PAM format with or without alpha channel, depth 8 bit or 16 bit for pix_fmts monob, gray, gray16be, rgb24, rgb48be, ya8, rgba, rgb64be.

Legal aspects

FFmpeg contains more than 100 codecs,^[33] most of which use compression techniques of one kind or another. Many such compression techniques may be subject to legal claims relating to software patents.^[34] Such claims may be enforceable in countries like the United States which have implemented software patents, but are considered unenforceable or void in countries that have not implemented software patents like in countries that are members of the European Union.

FFmtech Foundation

In June 2011 an election was organized to establish the board of FFmtech foundation,^[35] a non-profit organization dedicated for managing donation funds. It was designed to offer reimbursement for expenses and work done to FFmpeg and Libav. However, according to FFmpeg developer Ronald Bultje the results have been doubtful.^[36]

Projects using FFmpeg

FFmpeg is used by software such as VLC media player, xine, HandBrake, Plex, Blender, YouTube,^[37] and MPC-HC;^[38] it handles video and audio playback in Google Chrome,^[38] and Linux version of Firefox.^[39] Graphical user interface front-ends for FFmpeg have been developed, including Avanti,^[40] and XMedia Recode. JavaCV, a Java wrapper for OpenCV, includes a supplementary Java wrapper for FFmpeg.^[41]

FFmpeg is used by ffdshow, LAV Filters, GStreamer FFmpeg plug-in, Perian and OpenMAX IL to expand the encoding and decoding capabilities of their respective multimedia platform.

Forks

FFmbc

FFmpeg developer Baptiste Coudurier forked off FFmbc^[42] from FFmpeg, as a tool customized for broadcast and professional usage. It is currently based on a 0.x branch of the FFmpeg master and therefore lacks features from newer releases.^[43]

Libav

On March 13, 2011, a group of FFmpeg developers decided to fork the project under the name "Libav".^[44][45][46] The event was related to a recent issue in project management, in which developers disagreed with the leadership of FFmpeg.^[47][48][49]
