<p>FFmpeg can be hooked up with a number of external libraries to add support
for more formats. None of them are used by default, their use has to be
explicitly requested by passing the appropriate flags to
<code class="command">./configure</code>.
</p>
<a name="Alliance-for-Open-Media-_0028AOM_0029"></a>
<h3 class="section">1.1 Alliance for Open Media (AOM)<span class="pull-right"><a class="anchor hidden-xs" href="#Alliance-for-Open-Media-_0028AOM_0029" aria-hidden="true">#</a> <a class="anchor hidden-xs"href="#toc-Alliance-for-Open-Media-_0028AOM_0029" aria-hidden="true">TOC</a></span></h3>

<p>FFmpeg can make use of the AOM library for AV1 decoding and encoding.
</p>
<p>Go to <a class="url" href="http://aomedia.org/">http://aomedia.org/</a> and follow the instructions for
installing the library. Then pass <code class="code">--enable-libaom</code> to configure to
enable it.
</p>
<a name="AMD-AMF_002fVCE"></a>
<h3 class="section">1.2 AMD AMF/VCE<span class="pull-right"><a class="anchor hidden-xs" href="#AMD-AMF_002fVCE" aria-hidden="true">#</a> <a class="anchor hidden-xs"href="#toc-AMD-AMF_002fVCE" aria-hidden="true">TOC</a></span></h3>

<p>FFmpeg can use the AMD Advanced Media Framework library
for accelerated H.264 and HEVC(only windows) encoding on hardware with Video Coding Engine (VCE).
</p>
<p>To enable support you must obtain the AMF framework header files(version 1.4.9+) from
<a class="url" href="https://github.com/GPUOpen-LibrariesAndSDKs/AMF.git">https://github.com/GPUOpen-LibrariesAndSDKs/AMF.git</a>.
</p>
<p>Create an <code class="code">AMF/</code> directory in the system include path.
Copy the contents of <code class="code">AMF/amf/public/include/</code> into that directory.
Then configure FFmpeg with <code class="code">--enable-amf</code>.
</p>
<p>Initialization of amf encoder occurs in this order:
1) trying to initialize through dx11(only windows)
2) trying to initialize through dx9(only windows)
3) trying to initialize through vulkan
</p>
<p>To use h.264(AMD VCE) encoder on linux amdgru-pro version 19.20+ and amf-amdgpu-pro
package(amdgru-pro contains, but does not install automatically) are required.
</p>
<p>This driver can be installed using amdgpu-pro-install script in official amd driver archive.

<a name="AviSynth"></a>
<h3 class="section">1.3 AviSynth<span class="pull-right"><a class="anchor hidden-xs" href="#AviSynth" aria-hidden="true">#</a> <a class="anchor hidden-xs"href="#toc-AviSynth" aria-hidden="true">TOC</a></span></h3>

<p>FFmpeg can read AviSynth scripts as input. To enable support, pass
<code class="code">--enable-avisynth</code> to configure after installing the headers
provided by <a class="url" href="https://github.com/AviSynth/AviSynthPlus">AviSynth+</a>.
AviSynth+ can be configured to install only the headers by either
passing <code class="code">-DHEADERS_ONLY:bool=on</code> to the normal CMake-based build
system, or by using the supplied <code class="code">GNUmakefile</code>.
</p>
<p>For Windows, supported AviSynth variants are
<a class="url" href="http://avisynth.nl">AviSynth 2.6 RC1 or higher</a> for 32-bit builds and
<a class="url" href="http://avisynth.nl/index.php/AviSynth+">AviSynth+ r1718 or higher</a> for 32-bit and 64-bit builds.
</p>
<p>For Linux, macOS, and BSD, the only supported AviSynth variant is
<a class="url" href="https://github.com/AviSynth/AviSynthPlus">AviSynth+</a>, starting with version 3.5.
</p>
<div class="info">
<p>In 2016, AviSynth+ added support for building with GCC. However, due to
the eccentricities of Windows&rsquo; calling conventions, 32-bit GCC builds
of AviSynth+ are not compatible with typical 32-bit builds of FFmpeg.
</p>
<p>By default, FFmpeg assumes compatibility with 32-bit MSVC builds of
AviSynth+ since that is the most widely-used and entrenched build
configuration.  Users can override this and enable support for 32-bit
GCC builds of AviSynth+ by passing <code class="code">-DAVSC_WIN32_GCC32</code> to
<code class="code">--extra-cflags</code> when configuring FFmpeg.
</p>
<p>64-bit builds of FFmpeg are not affected, and can use either MSVC or
GCC builds of AviSynth+ without any special flags.
</p></div>
<div class="info">
<p>AviSynth(+) is loaded dynamically.  Distributors can build FFmpeg
with <code class="code">--enable-avisynth</code>, and the binaries will work regardless
of the end user having AviSynth installed.  If/when an end user
would like to use AviSynth scripts, then they can install AviSynth(+)
and FFmpeg will be able to find and use it to open scripts.

<p>FFmpeg can make use of the Chromaprint library for generating audio fingerprints.
Pass <code class="code">--enable-chromaprint</code> to configure to
enable it. See <a class="url" href="https://acoustid.org/chromaprint">https://acoustid.org/chromaprint</a>.

<p>FFmpeg can make use of the codec2 library for codec2 decoding and encoding.
There is currently no native decoder, so libcodec2 must be used for decoding.
</p>
<p>Go to <a class="url" href="http://freedv.org/">http://freedv.org/</a>, download &quot;Codec 2 source archive&quot;.
Build and install using CMake. Debian users can install the libcodec2-dev package instead.
Once libcodec2 is installed you can pass <code class="code">--enable-libcodec2</code> to configure to enable it.
</p>
<p>The easiest way to use codec2 is with .c2 files, since they contain the mode information required for decoding.
To encode such a file, use a .c2 file extension and give the libcodec2 encoder the -mode option:
<code class="code">ffmpeg -i input.wav -mode 700C output.c2</code>.
Playback is as simple as <code class="code">ffplay output.c2</code>.
For a list of supported modes, run <code class="code">ffmpeg -h encoder=libcodec2</code>.
Raw codec2 files are also supported.
To make sense of them the mode in use needs to be specified as a format option:
<code class="code">ffmpeg -f codec2raw -mode 1300 -i input.raw output.wav</code>.

<p>For decoding, this library is much more limited than the built-in decoder
in libavcodec; currently, this library lacks support for decoding B-frames
and some other main/high profile features. (It currently only supports
constrained baseline profile and CABAC.) Using it is mostly useful for
testing and for taking advantage of Cisco&rsquo;s patent portfolio license
