FFmpeg is a set of open source tools for audio and video processing, such as creating, converting/transcoding, and publishing media content.
The FFmpeg (n4.4.3) docker images are compiled with the following audio and video codecs:
| Codec | Version | Codec | Version |
|---|---|---|---|
| fdk-acc | 2.0.2 | x265 | 3.4 |
| vpx | 1.12.0 | opus | 1.3.1 |
| dav1d | 0.9.2 | ogg | 1.3.5 |
| SVT-HEVC | v1.5.1 | vorbis | 1.3.7 |
| SVT-AV1 | v1.3.0 | x264 | stable |
| SVT-VP9* | v0.3.0 |
* SVT-VP9 encoder app only. SVT-VP9 not yet available as a FFmpeg plugin.
The FFmpeg builds included the following patches for feature enhancement, better performance or bug fixes:
| Patch | Description |
|---|---|
| 11625 | Enhance 1:N transcoding performance. |
| SVT-HEVC | Enable FFmpeg SVT-HEVC plugin |
| SVT-AV1 | Enable FFmpeg SVT-AV1 plugin |
In GPU images, the FFmpeg docker images are accelerated through VAAPI and/or qsv (Intel® Media SDK). For Flex Series GPUs, oneVPL is used for acceleration. Note that VAAPI or qsv requires special setup for X11 authentication. Please see each platform README for setup details.
