FFmpeg

FFmpeg is a set of open source computer programs that can record, convert and streaming media digital audio and video. It includes libavcodec, a leading audio/video codec library. FFmpeg is developed under Linux, but it can compile under most operating systems, including Microsoft Windows. The project was started by Fabrice Bellard, but now it is maintained by Michael Niedermayer.

The project is made of several components:

  • ffmpeg is a command line tool to convert one video file format to another. It also supports grabbing and encoding in real time from a TV card.
  • ffserver is an HTTP (RTSP is being developed) multimedia streaming server for live broadcasts. Time shifting of live broadcast is also supported.
  • ffplay is a simple media player based on Simple_DirectMedia_Layer and on the FFmpeg libraries.
  • Libavcodec is a library (computer science) containing all the 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.

    • FFmpeg is released under GNU Lesser General Public License or GNU General Public License (depending on which sub-libraries one would include). The project is hosted at SourceForge.

    FFmpeg have reverse engineering and reimplemented, among others:

    *The Sorenson codec used by many QuickTime movies. *Advanced Streaming Format *Windows Media Audio *Windows Media Video (and thereby also the associated DIVX hack) *QDesign, used by many QuickTime movies prior to QuickTime 7.
