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-gnutls
(needed for https support) - alternatively there's
--enable-openssl
but needs--enable-nonfree
since it has a license incompatible with GPL -
--enable-libdcadec
(needed for DTS-HD MA support and other DTS extensions) -
--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-libutvideo
(UtVideo support) - FFmpeg has a compliant and faster native decoder and encoder
-
--enable-libwavpack
(alternative WavPack encoder/decoder) - FFmpeg has a native decoder and encoder
-
--enable-nvenc
(needed for Nvidia hardware encoding) - needs
--enable-nonfree
Can be removed if encoding for these formats is not needed since FFmpeg has a native decoder for them
-
--enable-libfaac
(Good quality AAC encoder) - Also compiles faac standalone encoder
- needs
--enable-nonfree
-
--enable-libfdk-aac
(Highest quality AAC encoder that supports LC and HE profiles) - Also compiles fdk-aac standalone encoder
- needs
--enable-nonfree
- FFmpeg's native encoder is high quality too and soon will no longer need
-strict experimental
to be used -
--enable-libgsm
(GSM encoder) -
--enable-libkvazaar
(HEVC encoder) - Also compiles kvazaar standalone encoder
-
--enable-libmp3lame
(MP3 encoder) - Also compiles lame standalone encoder
-
--enable-libopencore-amrnb
(AMR Narrowband encoder) -
--enable-libopus
(Opus encoder) - Also compiles opus standalone tools
-
--enable-libschroedinger
(Dirac encoder) -
--enable-libsnappy
(Snappy compressor needed for Hap encoding) -
--enable-libtheora
(Theora encoder) -
--enable-libtwolame
(MP2 encoder) -
--enable-libvo-aacenc
(Very low quality AAC encoder that supports LC and HE profiles) -
--enable-libvo-amrwbenc
(AMR Wideband encoder) -
--enable-libvorbis
(Vorbis encoder) - Also compiles Vorbis standalone tools
- 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
-
--enable-libx264
(H.264/AVC encoder) -
--enable-libx265
(HEVC encoder) -
--enable-libxavs
(XAVS encoder) -
--enable-libxvid
(MPEG-4/XviD encoder) - FFmpeg's native encoder is high quality too so this isn't needed
All can be removed from ffmpeg_options.txt
if not needed
-
--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-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 -
--enable-libvidstab
(vidstabdetect and vidstabtransform filters) -
--enable-libzimg
(zscale filter) -
--enable-libbluray
(bluray protocol) -
--enable-librtmp
(rtmp protocol) - FFmpeg has native support for the same protocols as librtmp (rtmp(t)e needs
--enable-gmp
or--enable-gcrypt
) -
--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 -
--enable-libsoxr
(alternative resampler engine for swresample)
All can be removed from ffmpeg_options.txt
if not needed
-
--enable-libgme
(needed for Game Music Emu demuxer) -
--enable-libmodplug
(needed for libmodplug demuxer) -
--enable-libzvbi
(needed for decoding DVB teletext)
