Thanks to several delays, and modernization of our entire infrastructure, this release ended up being one of our largest releases to date. In short, its new features are: Native decoders: APV , ProRes RAW, RealVideo 6.0, Sanyo LD-ADPCM, G.728 VVC decoder improvements: IBC , ACT , Palette Mode Vulkan compute-based codecs: FFv1 (encode and decode), ProRes RAW (decode only) Hardware ac 2025-08-22T00:00:00+00:00 FFmpeg News tag:trvny.github.io,2024:feedseek/ffmpeg/93a6ea8933bbfb91 September 30th, 2024, FFmpeg 7.1"Péter" 2024-09-30T00:00:00+00:00 FFmpeg 7.1 "Péter" , a new major release, is now available! A full list of changes can be found in the release changelog . The more important highlights of the release are that the VVC decoder, merged as experimental in version 7.0, has had enough time to mature and be optimized enough to be declared as stable. The codec is starting to gain traction with broadcast standardization bodies. Support has been added for a native AAC USAC (part of the xHE-AAC coding system) decoder, with th 2024-09-30T00:00:00+00:00 FFmpeg News tag:trvny.github.io,2024:feedseek/ffmpeg/38b47734e431d523 September 11th, 2024, Coverity 2024-09-11T00:00:00+00:00 The number of issues FFmpeg has in Coverity (a static analyzer) is now lower than it has been since 2016. Our defect density is less than one 30th of the average in OSS with over a million code lines. All this was possible thanks to a grant from the Sovereign Tech Fund . 2024-09-11T00:00:00+00:00 FFmpeg News tag:trvny.github.io,2024:feedseek/ffmpeg/9b2061233c8ede0c June 2nd, 2024, native xHE-AAC decoder 2024-06-02T00:00:00+00:00 FFmpeg now implements a native xHE-AAC decoder. Currently, streams without (e)SBR, USAC or MPEG-H Surround are supported, which means the majority of xHE-AAC streams in use should work. Support for USAC and (e)SBR is coming soon. Work is also ongoing to improve its stability and compatibility. During the process we found several specification issues, which were then submitted back to the authors for discussion and potential inclusion in a future errata. 2024-06-02T00:00:00+00:00 FFmpeg News tag:trvny.github.io,2024:feedseek/ffmpeg/ff42cdf02c03e4f2 May 13th, 2024, Sovereign Tech Fund 2024-05-13T00:00:00+00:00 The FFmpeg community is excited to announce that Germany's Sovereign Tech Fund has become its first governmental sponsor.

The most noteworthy changes for most users are a native VVC decoder (currently experimental, until more fuzzing is done), IAMF support , or a multi-threaded ffmpeg CLI tool . This release is not backwards compatible, removing APIs deprecated before 6.0. The biggest change for most library callers will be the removal of the old bitmask-based channel layout API, replaced by the AVChannelLayout API allowing such 2024-04-05T00:00:00+00:00 FFmpeg News tag:trvny.github.io,2024:feedseek/ffmpeg/71a4b6168ec697a3 January 3rd, 2024, native VVC decoder 2024-01-03T00:00:00+00:00 The libavcodec library now contains a native VVC (Versatile Video Coding) decoder, supporting a large subset of the codec's features. Further optimizations and support for more features are coming soon. The code was written by Nuo Mi, Xu Mu, Frank Plowman, Shaun Loo, and Wu Jianhua. 2024-01-03T00:00:00+00:00 FFmpeg News tag:trvny.github.io,2024:feedseek/ffmpeg/d3e4bb1d979f88ed December 18th, 2023, IAMF support 2023-12-18T00:00:00+00:00 The libavformat library can now read and write IAMF (Immersive Audio) files. The ffmpeg CLI tool can configure IAMF structure with the new -stream_group option. IAMF support was written by James Almer. 2023-12-18T00:00:00+00:00 FFmpeg News tag:trvny.github.io,2024:feedseek/ffmpeg/a7490db4009cde50 December 12th, 2023, multi-threadedffmpegCLI tool 2023-12-12T00:00:00+00:00 Thanks to a major refactoring of the ffmpeg command-line tool, all the major components of the transcoding pipeline (demuxers, decoders, filters, encodes, muxers) now run in parallel. This should improve throughput and CPU utilization, decrease latency, and open the way to other exciting new features. Note that you should not expect significant performance improvements in cases where almost all computational time is spent in a single component (typically video encoding). 2023-12-12T00:00:00+00:00 FFmpeg News tag:trvny.github.io,2024:feedseek/ffmpeg/7418e043359bc1b1 November 10th, 2023, FFmpeg 6.1 "Heaviside" 2023-11-10T00:00:00+00:00 FFmpeg 6.1 "Heaviside" , a new major release, is now available!

This is the first vendor-generic and platform-generic decode acceleration API, enabling the same code to be used on multiple platforms, with very minimal overhead. This is also the first multi-threaded hardware decoding API, and our code makes full use of this, saturating all available decode engines the hardware exposes.

This release has many new encoders and decoders, filters, ffmpeg CLI tool improvements, and also, changes the way releases are done. All major releases will now bump the version of the ABI. We plan to have a new major release each year. Another release-specific change is that deprecated APIs will be removed after 3 releases, upon the next major bump.

A big thank-you to Andreas Cadhalpun and all the people that made it possible. It has been anything but simple. Unfortunately that was already the easy part of this news.

The OpenSSL software library was updated on 7th of April, shortly after the vulnerability was publicly disclosed. We have changed the private keys (and certificates) for all FFmpeg servers.

The affected server was taken offline and has been replaced and all software reinstalled. FFmpeg Git, releases, FATE, web and mailinglists are on other servers and were not affected. We believe that the original compromise happened to a server, unrelated to FFmpeg and MPlayer, several months ago. That server was used as a source to clone the VM that we recently moved Trac to.
