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 ,

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.

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+00:00FFmpeg Newstag:trvny.github.io,2024:feedseek/ffmpeg/9b2061233c8ede0cJune 2nd, 2024, native xHE-AAC decoder2024-06-02T00:00:00+00:00FFmpeg 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+00:00FFmpeg Newstag:trvny.github.io,2024:feedseek/ffmpeg/ff42cdf02c03e4f2May 13th, 2024, Sovereign Tech Fund2024-05-13T00:00:00+00:00The FFmpeg community is excited to announce that Germany's Sovereign Tech Fund has become its first governmental sponsor.

is now available for download. 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

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+00:00FFmpeg Newstag:trvny.github.io,2024:feedseek/ffmpeg/7418e043359bc1b1November 10th, 2023, FFmpeg 6.1 "Heaviside"2023-11-10T00:00:00+00:00FFmpeg 6.1 "Heaviside" , a new

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.

is now available for download. 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

come by surprise. He has worked tirelessly on the FFmpeg project for many
years and we must thank him for the work that he has done. We hope that in
the future he will continue to contribute to the project. In the coming
weeks, the FFmpeg project will be managed by the active contributors. The last four years have not been easy for our multimedia community - both

If you want to host an open source project, please let us know, either on ffmpeg-devel mailing list or irc.freenode.net #ffmpeg-devel.

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 bad news is the packages probably won't
migrate to Debian testing to be in the upcoming release codenamed jessie. Read the argumentation over at Debian.

countless products building on our code, it is not at all common for
companies to step up and help us out when needed. So a big thank-you

OPW (Outreach Program for Women), we are now reaching out to our users
(both individuals and companies) to help us gather the needed money to
secure our spot in the program. We need to put together 6K USD as a minimum but securing more funds would

installed was compromised. 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. It2014-02-09T00:00:00+00:00FFmpeg Newstag:trvny.github.io,2024:feedseek/ffmpeg/9abe71e0a8f1d5b0February 3, 2014, Chemnitzer Linux-Tage2014-02-03T00:00:00+00:00We happily announce that FFmpeg will be represented at `Chemnitzer Linux-Tage'
