FFmpegis afree and open-source softwareproject consisting of a suite oflibrariesandprogramsfor handling video, audio, and othermultimediafiles and streams. At its core is thecommand-lineffmpegtool itself, designed for processing video and audio files. It is widely used for formattranscoding,basic editing (trimming andconcatenation),video scaling,videopost-productioneffects, and standards compliance (SMPTE,ITU).

FFmpeg also includes other tools:ffplay,a simple media player, andffprobe,a command-line tool to display media information. Among included libraries arelibavcodec,an audio/videocodeclibrary used by many commercial and free software products,libavformat(Lavf),[8]an audio/videocontainermux and demuxlibrary, and libavfilter, a library for enhancing and editing filters through aGStreamer-like filtergraph.[9]

FFmpeg is part of the workflow of many other software projects, and its libraries are a core part of software media players such asVLC,and has been included in core processing forYouTubeandBilibili.[10]Encoders and decoders for many audio and video file formats are included, making it highly useful for the transcoding of common and uncommon media files.

FFmpeg is published under theLGPL-2.1-or-laterorGPL-2.0-or-later,depending on which options are enabled.[11]

History

[edit]

The project was started byFabrice Bellard[11](using thepseudonym"Gérard Lantau" ) in 2000, and was led by Michael Niedermayer from 2004 until 2015.[12]Some FFmpeg developers were also part of theMPlayerproject.

The name of the project is inspired by theMPEGvideo standards group, together with "FF" for "fast forward", so FFmpeg stands for "Fast Forward Moving Picture Experts Group".[13]The logo represents azigzagscan pattern that shows how MPEG video codecs handleentropy encoding.[14]

On March 13, 2011, a group of FFmpeg developers decided to fork the project under the nameLibav.[15][16][17]The event was related to an issue in project management, in which developers disagreed with the leadership of FFmpeg.[18][19][20]

On January 10, 2014, two Google employees announced that over 1000 bugs had been fixed in FFmpeg during the previous two years by means offuzz testing.[21]

In January 2018, theffservercommand-line program – a long-time component of FFmpeg – was removed.[22]The developers had previously deprecated the program citing high maintenance efforts due to its use of internalapplication programming interfaces.[23]

The project publishes a new release every three months on average. While release versions are available from the website for download, FFmpeg developers recommend that users compile the software from source using the latest build from theirsource codeGitversion control system.[24]

Codec history

[edit]

Twovideo coding formatswith corresponding codecs and onecontainer formathave been created within the FFmpeg project so far. The two video codecs are the losslessFFV1,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.[25]

In summer 2010, FFmpeg developers Fiona Glaser, Ronald Bultje, and David Conrad, announced the ffvp8 decoder. Through testing, they determined that ffvp8 was faster than Google's ownlibvpxdecoder.[26][27]Starting with version 0.6, FFmpeg also supportedWebMandVP8.[28]

In October 2013, a nativeVP9[29]decoder and OpenHEVC, an open sourceHigh Efficiency Video Coding(HEVC) decoder, were added to FFmpeg.[30]In 2016 the nativeAACencoder was considered stable, removing support for the two external AAC encoders fromVisualOnandFAAC.FFmpeg 3.0 (nicknamed"Einstein") retained build support for theFraunhofer FDK AACencoder.[31]Since version 3.4"Cantor"FFmpeg supported theFITSimage format.[32]Since November 2018 in version 4.1"al-Khwarizmi"AV1can be muxed inMP4andMatroskaincl.WebM.[33][34]

Components

[edit]

Command-line tools

[edit]
  • ffmpegis 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[35]such as a TV capture card.
  • ffplayis a simple media player utilizingSDLand the FFmpeg libraries.
  • ffprobeis a command-line tool to display media information (text,CSV,XML,JSON), see alsoMediaInfo.

Libraries

[edit]
  • libswresampleis a library containing audioresamplingroutines.
  • libavresampleis a library containing audio resampling routines from theLibavproject, similar tolibswresamplefromffmpeg.
  • libavcodecis 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(Lavf)[8]is a library containing demuxers and muxers for audio/video container formats.
  • libavutilis a helper library containing routines common to different parts of FFmpeg. This library includes hash functions, ciphers,LZOdecompressor andBase64encoder/decoder.
  • libpostprocis a library containing olderH.263basedvideo postprocessingroutines.
  • libswscaleis a library containing videoimage scalingandcolorspace/pixelformat conversion routines.
  • libavfilteris the substitute for vhook which allows the video/audio to be modified or examined (for debugging) between the decoder and the encoder. Filters have been ported from many projects includingMPlayerandavisynth.
  • libavdeviceis a library containing audio/video io through internal and external devices.

Supported hardware

[edit]

CPUs

[edit]

FFmpeg encompasses software implementations of video and audio compressing and decompressing algorithms. These can be compiled and run on diverse instruction sets.

Many widespreadinstruction setsare supported by FFmpeg, includingx86(IA-32andx86-64), PPC (PowerPC),ARM,DEC Alpha,SPARC,andMIPS.[36]

Special purpose hardware

[edit]

There are a variety ofapplication-specific integrated circuits (ASICs)for audio/video compression and decompression. These ASICs can partially or completely offload the computation from the host CPU. Instead of a complete implementation of an algorithm, only theAPIis required to use such an ASIC.[37]

Firm ASIC purpose supported by FFmpeg Details
AMD UVD decoding Yes viaVDPAUAPI andVAAPI
VCE encoding Yes viaVAAPI,considered experimental[38]
Amlogic Amlogic Video Engine decoding ?
BlackMagic DeckLink encoding/decoding Yes real-time ingest and playout
Broadcom Crystal HD decoding Yes
Qualcomm Hexagon encoding/decoding Yes hwaccel[39]
Intel Intel Clear Video decoding Yes (libmfx, VAAPI)
Intel Quick Sync Video encoding/decoding Yes (libmfx, VAAPI)
Nvidia PureVideo / NVDEC decoding Yes via theVDPAUAPI as of FFmpeg v1.2 (deprecated)
viaCUVIDAPI as of FFmpeg v3.1[40]
NVENC encoding Yes as of FFmpeg v2.6

The following APIs are also supported:DirectX Video Acceleration(DXVA2, Windows),Direct3D 11(D3D11VA, Windows),Media Foundation(Windows),Vulkan(VKVA), VideoToolbox (iOS, iPadOS, macOS), RockChip MPP,OpenCL,OpenMAX,MMAL (Raspberry Pi), MediaCodec (Android OS), V4L2 (Linux). Depending on the environment, these APIs may lead to specific ASICs, toGPGPUroutines, or toSIMDCPU code.[41]

Supported codecs and formats

[edit]

Image formats

[edit]

FFmpeg supports many common and some uncommon image formats.

ThePGMYUVimage format is a homebrew variant of the binary (P5) PGMNetpbm format.FFmpeg also supports 16-bit depths of the PGM and PPM formats, and the binary (P7)PAMformat with or without alpha channel, depth 8 bit or 16 bit forpix_fmtsmonob, gray, gray16be, rgb24, rgb48be, ya8, rgba, rgb64be.

Applications

[edit]
[edit]

FFmpeg contains more than 100 codecs,[71]most of which use compression techniques of one kind or another. Many such compression techniques may be subject to legal claims relating tosoftware patents.[72]Such claims may be enforceable in countries like the United States which have implemented software patents, but are considered unenforceable or void in member countries of theEuropean Union,for example.[73][original research]Patents for many older codecs, including AC3 and all MPEG-1 and MPEG-2 codecs, have expired.[citation needed]

FFmpeg is licensed under the LGPL license, but if a particular build of FFmpeg is linked against any GPL libraries (notablyx264), then the entire binary is licensed under the GPL.

Projects using FFmpeg

[edit]

FFmpeg is used by software such asBlender,Cinelerra-GG Infinity,HandBrake,Kodi,MPC-HC,Plex,Shotcut,VirtualDub2(aVirtualDubfork),[74]VLC media player,xineandYouTube.[75][76]It handles video and audio playback inGoogle Chrome[76]and the Linux version of Firefox.[77]GUIfront-endsfor FFmpeg have been developed, including Multimedia Xpert[78]and XMedia Recode.

FFmpeg is used byffdshow,FFmpegInterop, theGStreamer FFmpeg plug-in,LAV Filters andOpenMAX ILto expand the encoding and decoding capabilities of their respective multimedia platforms.

As part ofNASA'sMars 2020mission, FFmpeg is used by thePerseverance roveron Mars for image and video compression before footage is sent to Earth.[79]
