FFmpeg<\/strong>\u00a0is one of the best multimedia frameworks that contains\u00a0various tools for different tasks<\/a>. For example the\u00a0ffplay<\/strong>\u00a0is a portable media player that can be used to play audio\/video files,\u00a0ffmpeg<\/strong>\u00a0can convert between different file formats,\u00a0ffserver<\/strong>\u00a0can be used to stream live broadcasts and\u00a0ffprobe<\/strong>\u00a0is able to analyze multimedia stream.<\/p>\n

This framework is really powerful due to the diversity of available tools in it, that provide the best technical solution for the user. According to the description of\u00a0FFmpeg<\/strong>\u00a0in the official website, the reason for having such a great multimedia framework is the combination of the best free software options available.<\/p>\n

The\u00a0FFmpeg<\/strong>\u00a0framework offers high security and the reason for this is the seriosity of the developers when they review the code, it is always done with security in mind.<\/p>\n

I am very sure you will find this framework very useful when you would like to do some digital\u00a0audio and video streaming<\/a>\u00a0or recording. There are many other practical thing that you can do with the help of the\u00a0FFmpeg<\/strong>framework such as converting your wav file to an mp3 one, encode and decode your videos or even scale them.<\/p>\n

According to the official website FFmpeg is able to do the followings.<\/p>\n

    \n
  1. decode multimedia files<\/li>\n
  2. encode multimedia files<\/li>\n
  3. transcode multimedia files<\/li>\n
  4. mux multimedia files<\/li>\n
  5. demux multimedia files<\/li>\n
  6. stream multimedia files<\/li>\n
  7. filter multimedia files<\/li>\n
  8. play multimedia files<\/li>\n<\/ol>\n

    Let me take an example, a very simple one. The following command will convert your\u00a0mp4<\/strong>\u00a0file into an\u00a0avi<\/strong>\u00a0file, simple as that.<\/p>\n

    # ffmpeg -i Lone_Ranger.mp4 Lone_Ranger.avi<\/pre>\n
    The above command is only useful for explanation, it is not recommended to be used in practice because the codex, bitrate and other specifics are not declared.<\/p>\n
    In the next part we will practice with some of the\u00a0FFmpeg multimedia framework tools<\/a>, but before doing that we have to install it in our Linux box.<\/p>\n
    How to Install FFmpeg Multimedia Framework in Linux<\/h3>\n
    Since the\u00a0FFmpeg<\/strong>\u00a0packages are offered for the most used Linux distributions and the installation will be relatively easy. Lets start with the installation of the FFmpeg framework in Ubuntu based distributions.<\/p>\n
    Install FFmpeg on Ubuntu and Linux Mint<\/h4>\n
    I will install\u00a0FFmpeg<\/strong>\u00a0via the\u00a0PPA<\/strong>\u00a0recommended in the official blog. Open a new terminal (CTRL+ALT+T<\/strong>) and then run the following commands.<\/p>\n
    $ sudo add-apt-repository ppa:mc3man\/trusty-media\r\n$ sudo apt-get update\r\n$ sudo apt-get install ffmpeg\r\n$ ffmpeg -version\r\n<\/pre>\n
    Install FFmpeg on Debian<\/h4>\n
    To install\u00a0FFmpeg<\/strong>, first you need to add the following line to your\u00a0\/etc\/apt\/sources.list<\/code>\u00a0file. As per your distribution, change \u2018<mydist><\/code>\u2018 with \u2018stretch<\/strong>\u2018, \u2018jessie<\/strong>\u2018, or \u2018wheezy<\/strong>\u2018.<\/p>\n
    deb http:\/\/www.deb-multimedia.org <mydist><\/code> main non-free deb-src http:\/\/www.deb-multimedia.org <mydist><\/code> main non-free<\/pre>\n
    Then update system package sources and install\u00a0FFmpeg<\/strong>\u00a0with the following commands.<\/p>\n
    $ sudo apt-get update\r\n$ sudo apt-get install deb-multimedia-keyring\r\n$ sudo apt-get update\r\n$ sudo apt-get install ffmpeg\r\n$ ffmpeg -version\r\n<\/pre>\n
    Install FFmpeg on CentOS and RHEL<\/h4>\n
    To install\u00a0FFmpeg<\/strong>\u00a0on\u00a0CentOS<\/strong>\u00a0and\u00a0RHEL<\/strong>\u00a0distributions, you need to enable\u00a0EPEL<\/strong>\u00a0and\u00a0RPM Fusion<\/strong>\u00a0repository on the system using following commands.<\/p>\n
    To install and enable\u00a0EPEL<\/strong>, use following command.<\/p>\n
    # yum install epel-release\r\n<\/pre>\n
    To install and enable\u00a0RPM Fusion<\/strong>, use following command on your distribution version.<\/p>\n
    -------------- On CentOS & RHEL 7.x --------------<\/strong> \r\n# yum localinstall --nogpgcheck https:\/\/download1.rpmfusion.org\/free\/el\/rpmfusion-free-release-7.noarch.rpm https:\/\/download1.rpmfusion.org\/nonfree\/el\/rpmfusion-nonfree-release-7.noarch.rpm\r\n\r\n-------------- On CentOS & RHEL 6.x --------------<\/strong>\r\n# yum localinstall --nogpgcheck https:\/\/download1.rpmfusion.org\/free\/el\/rpmfusion-free-release-6.noarch.rpm https:\/\/download1.rpmfusion.org\/nonfree\/el\/rpmfusion-nonfree-release-6.noarch.rpm\r\n<\/pre>\n
    After enabling repositories, run the following command to install\u00a0FFmpeg<\/strong>:<\/p>\n
    # yum install ffmpeg ffmpeg-devel\r\n# ffmpeg -version\r\n<\/pre>\n
    Install FFmpeg on Fedora<\/h4>\n
    On Fedora, you need to install and enable\u00a0RPM Fusion<\/strong>\u00a0to install\u00a0FFmpeg<\/strong>\u00a0as shown.<\/p>\n
    $ sudo dnf install https:\/\/download1.rpmfusion.org\/free\/fedora\/rpmfusion-free-release-$(rpm -E %fedora).noarch.rpm https:\/\/download1.rpmfusion.org\/nonfree\/fedora\/rpmfusion-nonfree-release-$(rpm -E %fedora).noarch.rpm\r\n$ sudo dnf install ffmpeg ffmpeg-devel\r\n$ ffmpeg -version\r\n<\/pre>\n
    FFmpeg Compiling from Source<\/h4>\n
    Compiling software from source is not the easiest thing in the world, but with the right instructions we will be able to do it. First make sure your system meet all the dependencies. The installation of these dependencies can be done with the help of the following commands.<\/p>\n
    First, tell the system to pull down the latest packages.<\/p>\n
    $ sudo apt-get update<\/pre>\n
    Install the dependencies with the following command.<\/p>\n
    -------------- On Debian & Ubuntu --------------<\/strong>\r\n$ sudo apt-get -y install autoconf automake build-essential libass-dev libfreetype6-dev libgpac-dev \\\r\nlibsdl1.2-dev libtheora-dev libtool libva-dev libvdpau-dev libvorbis-dev libx11-dev \\\r\nlibxext-dev libxfixes-dev pkg-config texi2html zlib1g-dev\r\n<\/pre>\n
    -------------- On CentOS and RHEL --------------<\/strong>\r\n# yum install glibc gcc gcc-c++ autoconf automake libtool git make nasm pkgconfig SDL-devel \\\r\na52dec a52dec-devel alsa-lib-devel faac faac-devel faad2 faad2-devel freetype-devel giflib gsm gsm-devel \\\r\nimlib2 imlib2-devel lame lame-devel libICE-devel libSM-devel libX11-devel libXau-devel libXdmcp-devel \\\r\nlibXext-devel libXrandr-devel libXrender-devel libXt-devel libogg libvorbis vorbis-tools mesa-libGL-devel \\\r\nmesa-libGLU-devel xorg-x11-proto-devel zlib-devel libtheora theora-tools ncurses-devel libdc1394 libdc1394-devel \\\r\namrnb-devel amrwb-devel opencore-amr-devel\r\n<\/pre>\n
    Then use the following command to create a new directory for the FFmpeg sources. This is the directory where the source files will be downloaded.<\/p>\n
    $ mkdir ~\/ffmpeg_sources<\/pre>\n
    Now compile and install\u00a0yasm<\/strong>\u00a0assembler used by FFmpeg by running the following commands.<\/p>\n
    $ cd ~\/ffmpeg_sources\r\n$ wget http:\/\/www.tortall.net\/projects\/yasm\/releases\/yasm-1.3.0.tar.gz\r\n$ tar xzvf yasm-1.3.0.tar.gz\r\n$ cd yasm-1.3.0\r\n$ .\/configure --prefix=\"$HOME\/ffmpeg_build\" --bindir=\"$HOME\/bin\"\r\n$ make\r\n$ make install\r\n$ make distclean\r\n$ export \"PATH=$PATH:$HOME\/bin\"\r\n<\/pre>\n
    \n
    After you have successfully installed the\u00a0yasm<\/strong>\u00a0assembler it is time to install some various encoders that will be used with the specific FFmpeg tools. Use the following commands to install the\u00a0H.264<\/strong>\u00a0video encoder.<\/p>\n
    $ cd ~\/ffmpeg_sources\r\n$ wget http:\/\/download.videolan.org\/pub\/x264\/snapshots\/last_x264.tar.bz2\r\n$ tar xjvf last_x264.tar.bz2\r\n$ cd x264-snapshot*\r\n$ .\/configure --prefix=\"$HOME\/ffmpeg_build\" --bindir=\"$HOME\/bin\" --enable-static\r\n$ make\r\n$ make install\r\n$ make distclean\r\n<\/pre>\n
    Another nice useful encoder is the\u00a0libfdk-aac AAC<\/strong>\u00a0audio encoder.<\/p>\n
    $ cd ~\/ffmpeg_sources\r\n$ wget -O fdk-aac.zip https:\/\/github.com\/mstorsjo\/fdk-aac\/zipball\/master\r\n$ unzip fdk-aac.zip\r\n$ cd mstorsjo-fdk-aac*\r\n$ autoreconf -fiv\r\n$.\/configure --prefix=\"$HOME\/ffmpeg_build\" --disable-shared\r\n$ make\r\n$ make install\r\n$ make distclean<\/pre>\n
    Install\u00a0libopus<\/strong>\u00a0audio decoder and encoder.<\/p>\n
    $ cd ~\/ffmpeg_sources\r\n$ wget http:\/\/downloads.xiph.org\/releases\/opus\/opus-1.1.tar.gz\r\n$ tar xzvf opus-1.1.tar.gz\r\n$ cd opus-1.1\r\n$ .\/configure --prefix=\"$HOME\/ffmpeg_build\" --disable-shared\r\n$ make\r\n$ make install\r\n$ make distclean<\/pre>\n
    Now, it\u2019s time to install\u00a0ffmpeg<\/strong>\u00a0from source.<\/p>\n
    $ cd ~\/ffmpeg_sources\r\n$ wget http:\/\/ffmpeg.org\/releases\/ffmpeg-snapshot.tar.bz2\r\n$ tar xjvf ffmpeg-snapshot.tar.bz2\r\n$ cd ffmpeg\r\n$ PKG_CONFIG_PATH=\"$HOME\/ffmpeg_build\/lib\/pkgconfig\"\r\n$ export PKG_CONFIG_PATH\r\n$ .\/configure --prefix=\"$HOME\/ffmpeg_build\" --extra-cflags=\"-I$HOME\/ffmpeg_build\/include\" \\\r\n   --extra-ldflags=\"-L$HOME\/ffmpeg_build\/lib\" --bindir=\"$HOME\/bin\" --extra-libs=\"-ldl\" --enable-gpl \\\r\n   --enable-libass --enable-libfdk-aac --enable-libfreetype --enable-libmp3lame --enable-libopus \\\r\n   --enable-libtheora --enable-libvorbis --enable-libvpx --enable-libx264 --enable-nonfree --enable-x11grab\r\n$ make\r\n$ make install\r\n$ make distclean\r\n$ hash -r<\/pre>\n
    Note<\/strong>: If you have not installed certain encoders, make sure to remove \u2018\u2013enable-encoder_name<\/strong>\u2018 from the above \u2018.\/configure<\/strong>\u2018 command so the installation is done without any problem.<\/p>\n
    There are many encoders that you can install, but fur the purpose of this article I am not going to install all of them, but you can install them using the following official guides.<\/p>\n
