1@chapter External libraries
2
3FFmpeg can be hooked up with a number of external libraries to add support
4for more formats. None of them are used by default, their use has to be
5explicitly requested by passing the appropriate flags to
6@command{./configure}.
7
8@section Alliance for Open Media (AOM)
9
10FFmpeg can make use of the AOM library for AV1 decoding and encoding.
11
12Go to @url{http://aomedia.org/} and follow the instructions for
13installing the library. Then pass @code{--enable-libaom} to configure to
14enable it.
15
16@section AMD AMF/VCE
17
18FFmpeg can use the AMD Advanced Media Framework library
19for accelerated H.264 and HEVC(only windows) encoding on hardware with Video Coding Engine (VCE).
20
21To enable support you must obtain the AMF framework header files(version 1.4.9+) from
22@url{https://github.com/GPUOpen-LibrariesAndSDKs/AMF.git}.
23
24Create an @code{AMF/} directory in the system include path.
25Copy the contents of @code{AMF/amf/public/include/} into that directory.
26Then configure FFmpeg with @code{--enable-amf}.
27
28Initialization of amf encoder occurs in this order:
291) trying to initialize through dx11(only windows)
302) trying to initialize through dx9(only windows)
313) trying to initialize through vulkan
32
33To use h.264(AMD VCE) encoder on linux amdgru-pro version 19.20+ and amf-amdgpu-pro
34package(amdgru-pro contains, but does not install automatically) are required.
35
36This driver can be installed using amdgpu-pro-install script in official amd driver archive.
37
38@section AviSynth
39
40FFmpeg can read AviSynth scripts as input. To enable support, pass
41@code{--enable-avisynth} to configure after installing the headers
42provided by @url{https://github.com/AviSynth/AviSynthPlus, AviSynth+}.
43AviSynth+ can be configured to install only the headers by either
44passing @code{-DHEADERS_ONLY:bool=on} to the normal CMake-based build
45system, or by using the supplied @code{GNUmakefile}.
46
47For Windows, supported AviSynth variants are
48@url{http://avisynth.nl, AviSynth 2.6 RC1 or higher} for 32-bit builds and
49@url{http://avisynth.nl/index.php/AviSynth+, AviSynth+ r1718 or higher} for 32-bit and 64-bit builds.
50
51For Linux, macOS, and BSD, the only supported AviSynth variant is
52@url{https://github.com/AviSynth/AviSynthPlus, AviSynth+}, starting with version 3.5.
53
54@float NOTE
55In 2016, AviSynth+ added support for building with GCC. However, due to
56the eccentricities of Windows' calling conventions, 32-bit GCC builds
57of AviSynth+ are not compatible with typical 32-bit builds of FFmpeg.
58
59By default, FFmpeg assumes compatibility with 32-bit MSVC builds of
60AviSynth+ since that is the most widely-used and entrenched build
61configuration.  Users can override this and enable support for 32-bit
62GCC builds of AviSynth+ by passing @code{-DAVSC_WIN32_GCC32} to
63@code{--extra-cflags} when configuring FFmpeg.
64
6564-bit builds of FFmpeg are not affected, and can use either MSVC or
66GCC builds of AviSynth+ without any special flags.
67@end float
68
69@float NOTE
70AviSynth(+) is loaded dynamically.  Distributors can build FFmpeg
71with @code{--enable-avisynth}, and the binaries will work regardless
72of the end user having AviSynth installed.  If/when an end user
73would like to use AviSynth scripts, then they can install AviSynth(+)
74and FFmpeg will be able to find and use it to open scripts.
75@end float
76
77@section Chromaprint
78
79FFmpeg can make use of the Chromaprint library for generating audio fingerprints.
80Pass @code{--enable-chromaprint} to configure to
81enable it. See @url{https://acoustid.org/chromaprint}.
82
83@section codec2
84
85FFmpeg can make use of the codec2 library for codec2 decoding and encoding.
86There is currently no native decoder, so libcodec2 must be used for decoding.
87
88Go to @url{http://freedv.org/}, download "Codec 2 source archive".
89Build and install using CMake. Debian users can install the libcodec2-dev package instead.
90Once libcodec2 is installed you can pass @code{--enable-libcodec2} to configure to enable it.
91
92The easiest way to use codec2 is with .c2 files, since they contain the mode information required for decoding.
93To encode such a file, use a .c2 file extension and give the libcodec2 encoder the -mode option:
94@code{ffmpeg -i input.wav -mode 700C output.c2}.
95Playback is as simple as @code{ffplay output.c2}.
96For a list of supported modes, run @code{ffmpeg -h encoder=libcodec2}.
97Raw codec2 files are also supported.
98To make sense of them the mode in use needs to be specified as a format option:
99@code{ffmpeg -f codec2raw -mode 1300 -i input.raw output.wav}.

187
188@section OpenCORE, VisualOn, and Fraunhofer libraries
189
190Spun off Google Android sources, OpenCore, VisualOn and Fraunhofer
191libraries provide encoders for a number of audio codecs.
192
193@float NOTE
194OpenCORE and VisualOn libraries are under the Apache License 2.0
195(see @url{http://www.apache.org/licenses/LICENSE-2.0} for details), which is
196incompatible to the LGPL version 2.1 and GPL version 2. You have to
197upgrade FFmpeg's license to LGPL version 3 (or if you have enabled
198GPL components, GPL version 3) by passing @code{--enable-version3} to configure in
199order to use it.
200
201The license of the Fraunhofer AAC library is incompatible with the GPL.
202Therefore, for GPL builds, you have to pass @code{--enable-nonfree} to
203configure in order to use it. To the best of our knowledge, it is
204compatible with the LGPL.
205@end float
