ffmpeg-msvc-build

Scripts for building FFmpeg with MSVC.

The script uses vcpkg which closely follows the official instructions.

The purpose of this repository is:

1. To enable the latest git version of ffmpeg to be built with vcpkg, with a few minimal patches on top of upstream vcpkg.
2. Do full feature testing for windows, linux, and osx (far more in-depth compared to what upstream vcpkg continuous integration is testing).
3. Provide a few builds for convenience. Given that there are so many different combinations of features that might make sense for specific purposes, what is currently provided is an LGPLv2 build including all ffmpeg features exposed by vcpkg.

Requirements

• Visual Studio
• vcpkg

Usage

Clone the repository and run the following in powershell or cmd:

cd vcpkg
.\bootstrap-vcpkg.bat
.\vcpkg.exe install ffmpeg[core,all]:x64-windows

You can pick another triplet, or another set of features. See the ffmpeg vcpkg.json file for a list of all features. The above will result in an LGPLv2 licensed ffmpeg library built with all LGPL compatible features that are supported in vcpkg.

Prebuilt LGPLv2 builds for Visual Studio 2019 can be found here. See the vcpkg export documentation for more information on how to use these pre-built packages.

License

All scripts for creating the builds are licensed under the conditions of the MIT license.

The builds themselves are covered by the relevant license for your build (see here for full details).

Build options and features static link

Hello! I have some questions.

• ffmpeg build includes do not contain deprecated api. Can i build ffmpeg with "enable-deprecated" or something like that.
• All ffmpeg libs have shared linkage. I want to have features static link to avcodec.dll. For example to link libx264.dll, libx265.dll staticly to avcodec.
  Big thanks in advance!

Audio only FFmpeg flavor

Hi,

Would it be possible for you to release a flavor of FFmpeg (LGPL, shared, MSVC, x64) with just audio-related features enabled?

Many programs that use FFmpeg don't care about the video features (codec, parser,...) and would appreciate to have much lighter DLLs to distribute (and with less dependencies).

Thanks in advance!

custom configure options

It would be nice to allow builds with custom configure options for enabling/disabling features not exposed by upstream vcpkg.
