FFmpeg is the leading multimedia framework, able to decode, encode, transcode, mux, demux, stream, filter and play pretty much anything that humans and machines have created. It supports the most obscure ancient formats up to the cutting edge. No matter if they were designed by some standards committee, the community or a corporation. It is also highly portable: FFmpeg compiles, runs, and passes our testing infrastructure FATE across Linux, Mac OS X, Microsoft Windows, the BSDs, Solaris, etc. under a wide variety of build environments, machine architectures, and configurations.
A new minor release FFmpeg 8.1 "Hoare", , is now available for download. Here are some of the highlights:
This release features a lot of internal changes and bugfixes. The groundwork for the upcoming swscale rewrite is progressing. The Vulkan compute-based codecs, and a few filters, no longer depend on runtime GLSL compilation, which speeds up their initialization.
A companion post about the Vulkan Compute-based codec implementations has been published on the Khronos blog featuring technical details on the implementations and future plans.
