@chapter External libraries
FFmpeg can be hooked up with a number of external libraries to add support
for more formats. None of them are used by default, their use has to be
explicitly requested by passing the appropriate flags to
@command{./configure}.
@section Alliance for Open Media (AOM)
FFmpeg can make use of the AOM library for AV1 decoding and encoding.
Go to @url{http://aomedia.org/} and follow the instructions for
installing the library. Then pass @code{--enable-libaom} to configure to
enable it.
@section AMD AMF/VCE
FFmpeg can use the AMD Advanced Media Framework library
for accelerated H.264 and HEVC(only windows) encoding on hardware with Video Coding Engine (VCE).
To enable support you must obtain the AMF framework header files(version 1.4.9+) from
@url{https://github.com/GPUOpen-LibrariesAndSDKs/AMF.git}.
Create an @code{AMF/} directory in the system include path.
Copy the contents of @code{AMF/amf/public/include/} into that directory.
Then configure FFmpeg with @code{--enable-amf}.
Initialization of amf encoder occurs in this order:
1) trying to initialize through dx11(only windows)
2) trying to initialize through dx9(only windows)
3) trying to initialize through vulkan
To use h.264(AMD VCE) encoder on linux amdgru-pro version 19.20+ and amf-amdgpu-pro
package(amdgru-pro contains, but does not install automatically) are required.
This driver can be installed using amdgpu-pro-install script in official amd driver archive.
@section AviSynth
FFmpeg can read AviSynth scripts as input. To enable support, pass
@code{--enable-avisynth} to configure after installing the headers
provided by @url{https://github.com/AviSynth/AviSynthPlus, AviSynth+}.
AviSynth+ can be configured to install only the headers by either
passing @code{-DHEADERS_ONLY:bool=on} to the normal CMake-based build
system, or by using the supplied @code{GNUmakefile}.
For Windows, supported AviSynth variants are
@url{http://avisynth.nl, AviSynth 2.6 RC1 or higher} for 32-bit builds and
@url{http://avisynth.nl/index.php/AviSynth+, AviSynth+ r1718 or higher} for 32-bit and 64-bit builds.
For Linux, macOS, and BSD, the only supported AviSynth variant is
@url{https://github.com/AviSynth/AviSynthPlus, AviSynth+}, starting with version 3.5.
@float NOTE
In 2016, AviSynth+ added support for building with GCC. However, due to
the eccentricities of Windows' calling conventions, 32-bit GCC builds
of AviSynth+ are not compatible with typical 32-bit builds of FFmpeg.
By default, FFmpeg assumes compatibility with 32-bit MSVC builds of
AviSynth+ since that is the most widely-used and entrenched build
configuration. Users can override this and enable support for 32-bit
GCC builds of AviSynth+ by passing @code{-DAVSC_WIN32_GCC32} to
@code{--extra-cflags} when configuring FFmpeg.
64-bit builds of FFmpeg are not affected, and can use either MSVC or
GCC builds of AviSynth+ without any special flags.
@end float
@float NOTE
AviSynth(+) is loaded dynamically. Distributors can build FFmpeg
with @code{--enable-avisynth}, and the binaries will work regardless
of the end user having AviSynth installed. If/when an end user
would like to use AviSynth scripts, then they can install AviSynth(+)
and FFmpeg will be able to find and use it to open scripts.
@end float
@section Chromaprint
FFmpeg can make use of the Chromaprint library for generating audio fingerprints.
Pass @code{--enable-chromaprint} to configure to
enable it. See @url{https://acoustid.org/chromaprint}.
@section codec2
FFmpeg can make use of the codec2 library for codec2 decoding and encoding.
There is currently no native decoder, so libcodec2 must be used for decoding.
Go to @url{http://freedv.org/}, download "Codec 2 source archive".
Build and install using CMake. Debian users can install the libcodec2-dev package instead.
Once libcodec2 is installed you can pass @code{--enable-libcodec2} to configure to enable it.
The easiest way to use codec2 is with .c2 files, since they contain the mode information required for decoding.
To encode such a file, use a .c2 file extension and give the libcodec2 encoder the -mode option:
@code{ffmpeg -i input.wav -mode 700C output.c2}.
Playback is as simple as @code{ffplay output.c2}.
For a list of supported modes, run @code{ffmpeg -h encoder=libcodec2}.
Raw codec2 files are also supported.
To make sense of them the mode in use needs to be specified as a format option:
@code{ffmpeg -f codec2raw -mode 1300 -i input.raw output.wav}.
@section dav1d
FFmpeg can make use of the dav1d library for AV1 video decoding.
Go to @url{https://code.videolan.org/videolan/dav1d} and follow the instructions for
installing the library. Then pass @code{--enable-libdav1d} to configure to enable it.
@section davs2
FFmpeg can make use of the davs2 library for AVS2-P2/IEEE1857.4 video decoding.
Go to @url{https://github.com/pkuvcl/davs2} and follow the instructions for
installing the library. Then pass @code{--enable-libdavs2} to configure to
enable it.
@float NOTE
libdavs2 is under the GNU Public License Version 2 or later

music file formats. Pass @code{--enable-libgme} to configure to
enable it. See @url{https://bitbucket.org/mpyne/game-music-emu/overview}.
@section Intel QuickSync Video
FFmpeg can use Intel QuickSync Video (QSV) for accelerated decoding and encoding
of multiple codecs. To use QSV, FFmpeg must be linked against the @code{libmfx}
dispatcher, which loads the actual decoding libraries.
The dispatcher is open source and can be downloaded from
@url{https://github.com/lu-zero/mfx_dispatch.git}. FFmpeg needs to be configured
with the @code{--enable-libmfx} option and @code{pkg-config} needs to be able to
locate the dispatcher's @code{.pc} files.
@section Kvazaar
FFmpeg can make use of the Kvazaar library for HEVC encoding.
Go to @url{https://github.com/ultravideo/kvazaar} and follow the

in libavcodec; currently, this library lacks support for decoding B-frames
and some other main/high profile features. (It currently only supports
constrained baseline profile and CABAC.) Using it is mostly useful for
testing and for taking advantage of Cisco's patent portfolio license
(@url{http://www.openh264.org/BINARY_LICENSE.txt}).
