December 30, 2012, Recent Developments

Before this year ends we want to use the occasion and give you some news about recent developments in FFmpeg.

-subtitles filter

The subtitles filter makes it possible to merge subtitles supported by libavformat/libavcodec into a video stream. This process is also known as burning them into the video or simply hardsubbing. This filter depends on libass and thus is only available in builds configured with --enable-ass.

The subtitles filter is also useful to play external subtitle files with ffplay. An example of this usage can be found in the following entry about TED captions.

- JSONcaptions for TED talks decoding support

TED provides video downloads for their talks. Not all of these are available with subtitles and when they are the subtitles are burnt into the video. Now with this new FFmpeg feature you can download the subtitle files and just display them on the fly when playing the video with ffplay:

    ffplay ted.mp4 -vf subtitles=ted.json

-geq filter ported from libmpcodecs

This is another filter ported from MPlayer. It allows you to arbitrarily change luma and chroma values for each pixel of the movie individually. To learn more look at thegeq documentation andthe evaluation syntax description. Do not forget to give it a try:

    ffplay input.movie -vf "geq=p(X\,Y):if(gt(Y\,H/2)\,128)+ifnot(gt(Y\,H/2)\,cr(X\,Y)):if(gt(Y\,H/2)\,128)+ifnot(gt(Y\,H/2)\,cb(X\,Y))"

- filter forloudness analysis following EBU R128

This filter analyses audio streams as recommended by EBU recommendation R128. The output can be either logged or visualized in a generated video stream.

-FFM2 support

The FFM2 format has been introduced to provide better interoperability between different versions of the FFmpeg tools. It is usually used to provide input to ffserver. It improves on its predecessor FFM by making the format backward-compatible and extensible. This means the generated files are are no longer dependant on specific FFmpeg versions.

- Opus encoder using libopus

You can encode Opus now via Xiph'slibopus.

- VobSub demuxer

IDX/SUB file pairs can now be played back or be remuxed into other formats such as MKV.

- Resolution & pixel format change support with multithreading for H.264

Finally H.264 with resolution and/or pixel format changes can be decoded multithreaded.

-documentation split into per-component manuals

In an on-going effort, the documentation is split, reordered and extended to make it more accessible and more complete.

Of course we can't possibly cover all changes since our last release in a single news article, but we encourage you to read theChangelog yourself.

We wish you all a happy new year!

Fixes http://seclists.org/bugtraq/2011/Apr/257

We recommend distributors and system integrators whenever possible to upgrade to 0.7.7, 0.8.6 or git master. But when this is not possible 0.5.5 is more secure than previous releases from the 0.5 branch. If you are looking for an updated 0.6 release, please consider 0.7.7 which is ABI compatible and contains a huge number of security fixes that are missing in 0.6.*.

November 4, 2011

We have made 2 new point releases (0.7.7 and0.8.6) that fix around 90 bugs, several of whichare security relevant.We recommend users, distributors and system integrators to upgrade unless they usecurrent git master.

The mailing lists have been fully migrated to ffmpeg.org!

The FFmpeg mailing lists were moved from sourceforge.net tomplayerhq.hu in April 2005, and moved from mplayerhq.huto ffmpeg.org in 2011.

Unfortunately the lists were down for a few hoursbecause of the abrupt shut down on the previous server[1].We apologize for this interruption. Also we could not movethe subscribers of thelibav-usermailing list (libav-user is for application developersusing libav* libraries from the FFmpeg project).Even thoughlibav-userwas not listed in the shut down announcement[1], it was alsoshut down.

If you are not yet subscribed we encourage you to do so now ifyou are interested in FFmpeg or multimedia or both. Visit ourcontacts page to find out more aboutthe various mailing lists surrounding the FFmpeg project.You can also find the archives there if you like to browse the old posts.

As stated in the previous news entry we are in the processof recovering our project infrastructure. We will keep youposted.

FFmpeg has been forked by some developers after their attemptedtakeover[1] two months ago did not fully succeed. During these two months their repositorywas listed here as main FFmpeg repository. We corrected this now and listthe actual main repository and theirs directly below. All improvements of their forkhave been merged into the main repository already.

Sadly we lost a not so minor part of our infrastructure to the forking side.We are still in the process of recovering, but web, git and issue tracker arealready replaced.

Readers who want to find out more about the recent happenings are encouraged toread through the archives of the FFmpeg development mailing list[2]. There wasalso a bit of coverage on some news sites like here [3].

FFmpeg development has moved to Git, and the SVN repository is no longerupdated. The SVN repository may be removed in a near future, so you'rerecommended to use aGit repository instead.

The last revision committed to SVN was r26402 on 2011-01-19 and replacedthe svn:external libswscale with a standalone copy.

Oct 18, 2010

We have just pushed the first point release from our 0.6 release branch:FFmpeg 0.6.1. This is amaintenance-only release that addresses a small number of bugs and securityissues. It also adds a newer version of the AAC decoder, which enables theplayback of HE-AAC v2 media.

We have also taken the time make another point release our 0.5 branch:FFmpeg 0.5.3.It is a maintenance-only release that addresses a security issue and aminor set of bugs.

Distributors and system integrators are encouraged to update and share theirpatches against our release branches.

June 15, 2010

May 25, 2010

We have just pushed out another point release from our 0.5 release branch:FFmpeg 0.5.2.This is a maintenance-only release that addresses a small number of securityand portability issues. Distributors and system integrators are encouragedto update and share their patches against this branch.

March 19, 2010

Once again, FFmpeg has been accepted to take part in theGoogle Summer of Code. Here is theGoogle SoCFFmpeg page.

We have a list ofproposed project ideas available so, if you think you might be interested,head over there to see if there is any project on which you wish to work and forwhich you may wish to make an application. The list is still in flux, and you'refree to come up with your own ideas, but note that proposals should be closelytied to the progression of FFmpeg's code base.

We would like prospective students to show us that they've got what it takesto be a contributor to FFmpeg. If you think you're suited, then please completeasmalltask before submitting your Summer-of-Code proposal. Note that many of theproposed Summer-of-Code projects have specific tasks that you would want to workon, since they would show us that you're comfortable in that particular piece ofour codebase that relates to your specific project. Send patches to the mailinglist for review, so that you will learn about our patch review process,inlinereplying (because we don't like top-posting on our mailing lists) and generalinteractions with our developer base.

The sooner you start communicating with us and working withinour code base, the sooner both you and we will ascertain your suitability andyou will get used to our development methodology. You have until the applicationdeadline to complete your small task. Good luck!

March 2, 2010

We have just pushed out a point release from our 0.5 releasebranch:FFmpeg 0.5.1. Thisrelease fixes security, packaging and licensing issues for FFmpeg 0.5,but it is a maintenance only release; no new codecs, formats or otherfeature are being introduced. The full details are spelled out in thetherelease notesandchangelog.

There have been security fixes for the ASF, Ogg and MOV/MP4 demuxersas well as the FFv1, H.264, HuffYUV, MLP, MPEG audio and Snowdecoders. libswscale can now be compiled in LGPL mode, albeit withx86 optimizations disabled. Some non-free bits in a test program werereplaced. The AC-3 decoder is now completely LGPL. AMR-NB/WB supportis now possible in free software through the OpenCORE libraries.

To help packagers, the x264 glue code was updated to work with newerversions and symbol versioning was backported, as was the lockmanagement API. The symbol versioning change is enabled on platformsthat support it. This allows users to upgrade from 0.5.1 to theupcoming 0.6 release without having to recompile their applications.While this release is both API and ABI compatible with 0.5, pleasenote that distributors have to recompile applications against 0.5.1in order to make seamless upgrades to 0.6 possible.

March 1, 2010

We have been busy over the past few months. Among other things, theresults are an Indeo 5 video decoder as well as audio decoders forAMR-NB, Sipro, MPEG-4 ALS and WMA Voice, complete support for Bink,CDG and IFF PBM/ILBM bitmaps, an RTSP muxer, Bluray (PGS) subtitlesupport, a protocol for file concatenation and the ffprobe tool forextracting information from multimedia files.

September 23, 2009

In 1992 Sony introduced the first Minidisc player. 17 years later it is nowpossible to transfer and play back the raw ATRAC data from the actual digitaldisc with the help of FFmpeg, tools developed by theLinux Minidisc project and official hardware (MZ-RH1). So if you have lots of digitalrecordings stored on Minidisc now is the time to archive it all.

One of the last entrenchments of proprietary multimedia has fallen: Windows MediaAudio Pro support is finally available in FFmpeg. It decodes all known samplesflawlessly and is considerably faster than the binary decoder from Microsoft.A big thank you goes out to all the reverse engineers and programmers who madethis possible. It really was a herculean effort.

August 24, 2009

Just a very short time after its launch (~10 years), FFmpeg now supportsdecoding of TwinVQ (remember .vqf files?). Now FOSS enthusiasts can finallycontribute to the late 90's discussion if it sounds better than MP3 or not.

July 24, 2009

FFmpeg has removed support forlibamr as of svn revision 19365. Ithas been replaced with support forlibopencore-amr. Naturallythe configure options have changed. The libamr options have been removed andthere are two new options to take their place:

• --enable-libopencore-amrnb
• --enable-libopencore-amrwb

The reason for this change is that the libamr license was non-free, whilelibopencore-amr is licensed under an Apache 2 license. The change wasdiscussed at length on the developer mailing list during May, June, andJuly. This has several effects:

• You may now distribute FFmpeg builds with support for dynamically loading libopencore-amr
• Support for AMR-WB encoding has been removed since libopencore-amr does not support it

May 7, 2009

Google are again running theirSummer ofCode program and, as usual, we will be applying for a project position. Assuch we will need strongproject proposals and qualification tasks for the students to complete.

To all the students out there who want to work on FFmpeg over the summer, thesooner you begin to contribute to the project the better. Working on digitalmultimedia software is not the easiest task and getting code into FFmpeg's trunkrepository demands significant rigor and commitment.

Until we are officially accepted into the program, you could take a look at thelist ofsmalltasks we have and try to complete one of those. Support for development ofFFmpeg is available viathe FFmpeg-devel mailing list orIRC.

December 20, 2008

RealVideo 3.0 decoder added.Still working the bugs out, please test and report any problems.

December 20, 2008

The FFmpeg project would like to recognizeand thank the people atPicsearchfor their help improving FFmpeg recently. The Picsearch team makes extensiveuse of FFmpeg and provided feedback to FFmpeg in the form of thousands of filesthat either crash FFmpeg or use unsupported/unknown codecs. The FFmpegdevelopment team is putting this information to work in order to improveFFmpeg for everyone.

We know that there are other organizations using FFmpeg on a large scaleto process diverse input types. The FFmpeg team invites thoseorganizations to provide similar feedback about problems encountered inthe wild.

December 3, 2008

A bunch of new formats have recently beenadded to FFmpeg, namely a QCELP/PureVoice speech decoder, a floating pointPCM decoder and encoder, a Nellymoser ASAO encoder, an Electronic Arts TGQdecoder, Speex decoding via libspeex, an MXF muxer, an ASS/SSA subtitle demuxerand muxer and our AC-3 decoder has been extended with E-AC-3 support. Last butnot least we now have a decoder for RealVideo 4.0.

September 8, 2008

FFmpeg is undergoing major changes in itsAPI/ABI. The last valid revision for libavcodec version 51 is r15261.

August 21, 2008

The AAC decoder from FFmpeg Summer of Code2006 has finally been cleaned up and is now in FFmpeg trunk. It supports Mainand Low Complexity profile AAC but does not yet support HE AAC v1 (LC + SBR) orv2 (LC + SBR + PS), though implementation of this support is underway. It isconsiderably faster than FAAD and you should expect further performanceimprovements and bug fixes in the coming weeks.

Also, FFmpeg now has floating point PCM support and supports MLP/TrueHD decoding(FFmpeg SoC 2008 should bring us an encoder), Apple Lossless Audio encoding(FFmpeg SoC 2008) MVI demuxing and Motion Pixels Video decoding, D-Cinema audiomuxing, Electronic Arts CMV and TGV decoding and MAXIS EA XA demuxing/decoding.

June 16, 2008

UAB "DKD" (dkd.lt) have released a NellymoserASAO compatibledecoder andencoder under the LGPL. This will aid the development of a native encoder inFFmpeg, and right now a GSoC student is working hard on just that task. A greatthanks to UAB "DKD" for this contribution to the FFmpeg community.

June 11, 2008
