Most external libraries manually turned on configuration time are only actually needed for encoding or certain filters.
Can be removed if format support is not needed
-
--enable-schannel
(enabled by default) (needed for https support) - alternative is
--enable-gnutls
or--enable-openssl
but the latter needs--enable-nonfree
since it has a license incompatible with GPL -
--enable-libilbc
(needed for iLBC decoding support) -
--enable-libmfx
(needed for Intel QuickSync encoding/decoding) -
--enable-libopencore-amrnb
and--enable-libopencore-amrwb
(AMR codecs support) - FFmpeg has a native decoder for both variants
-
--enable-libopenjpeg
(JPEG 2000/J2K video support) - FFmpeg has a native decoder and encoder
-
--enable-libspeex
(needed for speex support) -
--enable-libwavpack
(alternative WavPack encoder/decoder) - FFmpeg has a native decoder and encoder but is probably slower
-
--enable-nvenc
(needed for Nvidia hardware encoding)
Can be removed if encoding for these formats is not needed since FFmpeg has a native decoder for them
-
--enable-libfdk-aac
(High quality AAC encoder that supports LC and HE profiles) - Also compiles fdk-aac standalone encoder if standalone=y
- needs
--enable-nonfree
- FFmpeg's native encoder is considered better or as good from 96kbps onward, but it still has no support for HE profiles
-
--enable-libgsm
(GSM encoder) -
--enable-libkvazaar
(HEVC encoder) - Also compiles kvazaar standalone encoder if standalone=y
-
--enable-libmp3lame
(MP3 encoder) - Also compiles lame standalone encoder if standalone=y
-
--enable-libopencore-amrnb
(AMR Narrowband encoder) -
--enable-libopus
(Opus encoder) - Also compiles opus standalone tools if standalone=y
-
--enable-libschroedinger
(Dirac encoder) -
--enable-libsnappy
(Snappy compressor needed for Hap encoding) -
--enable-libtheora
(Theora encoder) -
--enable-libtwolame
(MP2 encoder) -
--enable-libvo-amrwbenc
(AMR Wideband encoder) -
--enable-libvorbis
(Vorbis encoder) - Also compiles Vorbis standalone tools if standalone=y
- consider using
--disable-encoder=vorbis
if using this since FFmpeg's native encoder is quite primitive -
--enable-libvpx
(Google VP8/VP9 encoder) -
--enable-libwebp
(WebP encoder) - Also compiles WebP standalone tools if standalone=y
-
--enable-libx264
(H.264/AVC encoder) -
--enable-libx265
(HEVC encoder) -
--enable-libxavs
(XAVS encoder) -
--enable-libxvid
(MPEG-4/XviD encoder) - FFmpeg's native
mpeg4
encoder is high quality too so this isn't needed
All can be removed from ffmpeg_options.txt
if not needed
-
--enable-chromaprint
(chromaprint muxer) -
--enable-frei0r
(frei0r filter) -
--enable-libass
(ass and subtitles filters and subtitle support in mplayer/mpv) - Note: libass is always enabled when compiling mplayer and mpv since it's essential in most cases
-
--enable-libbs2b
(bs2b filter) -
--enable-libebur128
(loudnorm filter) -
--enable-libfreetype
(drawtext filter) -
--enable-fontconfig
to enable font fallback and font option -
--enable-libfribidi
to enable text_shaping option (needed for bidirectional text) -
--enable-librubberband
(rubberband filter) -
--enable-libtesseract
(ocr filter) - Also compiles standalone
tesseract.exe
and downloads trained data for English if standalone=y -
--enable-libvidstab
(vidstabdetect and vidstabtransform filters) -
--enable-libzimg
(zscale filter) -
--enable-netcdf
(sofalizer filter) -
--enable-libbluray
(bluray protocol) -
--enable-librtmp
(rtmp protocol) - FFmpeg has native support for the same protocols as librtmp
-
native rtmp(t)e needs
--enable-gmp
or--enable-gcrypt
if using GnuTLS or SChannel
-
native rtmp(t)e needs
-
--enable-libssh
(sftp protocol) -
--enable-decklink
(decklink IO device) -
--enable-libcaca
(caca output device) -
--enable-libcdio
(libcdio input device and Audio CD support in mplayer and mpv) -
--enable-opencl
(enables opencl optimizations in deshake and unsharp) -
--enable-opengl
(OpenGL output device) -
--enable-sdl
(SDL output device andffplay.exe
) - Enabled by default, needs
--disable-sdl
to be disabled
