FFmpeg Git, releases, FATE, web and mailinglists are on other servers and were not affected. We believe that the original compromise happened to a server, unrelated to FFmpeg and MPlayer, several months ago. That server was used as a source to clone the VM that we recently moved Trac to. It is not known if anyone used the backdoor that was found.

About FFmpeg FFmpeg is the leading multimedia framework, able to decode, encode, transcode, mux, demux, stream, filter and play pretty much anything that humans and machines have created. It supports the most obscure ancient formats up to the cutting edge. No matter if they were designed by some standards committee, the community or a corporation.

FFmpeg must be built with GPL library support available as well as the configure switches --enable-libdvdnav and --enable-libdvdread. You will need to provide either the desired "title number" or exact PGC/PG coordinates. Many open-source DVD players and tools can aid in providing this information.

͏ ffmpeg -i "in.webm" -c:a copy -c:v libx264 "out.mkv" ͏ . ͏ In some cases this might not be possible, because the target device/player doesn't support the codec or the target container format doesn't support the codec.

Build FFmpeg with oneVPL ... Build FFmpeg with MSDK ... Licence status of i965 VAAPI driver All of the user source code is available, but it includes proprietary blobs of compiled GPU code. Since the complete human-readable source is not available, this certainly renders it GPL-incompatible and is likely to cause issues with other copyleft ...

Since FFmpeg development is very active it is recommend to use a current version. See compilation guides or FFmpeg Download to take advantage of bug fixes and new features. This guide assumes that you will be using the libx264 encoder which offers high quality, fast encoding speeds, and high compatibility.

This guide focuses on the encoder x264. It assumes you have ffmpeg compiled with --enable-libx264. If you need help compiling and installing see one of our compiling guides. See HWAccelIntro for information on supported hardware H.264 encoders.

MPEG-4 Encoding Guide ¶ MPEG-4 Part 2, aka MPEG-4, Xvid, and DivX, is a video codec that was most widely used before the wide adoption of H.264. FFmpeg has two encoders to output MPEG-4 video. The external encoding library libxvid: ...and the native encoder mpeg4: ... The native encoder has the advantage of not requiring an external library.
