You may also add new dependencies and libraries to the project as shown: This can enable or disable parts of FFmpeg to suit your requirements. Add or remove the " -enable-xxx" settings in the build_ffmpeg function (under config_options) near the bottom of the script.If you want to customize your FFmpeg final executable even further ( to remove features you don't need, make a smaller build, or custom build, etc.) then edit the script. There is also an LGPL command line option for those that want that. To enable Intel QuickSync encoders (supported on Windows vista and above), which is optional, pass the option -build-intel-qsv=y to the cross-compilation script above. The VLC build is currently broken, send a PM if you'd want it fixed. If you want to build a "shared" build (there's a command line option for that :) then link it into your MSVC project see Īlso note that you can also "cross compile" mp4box, mplayer,mencoder and vlc binaries if you pass in the appropriate command line parameters. To see all the various options available.įor long running builds, do run them overnight as they take a while. Else:ĭownload the script by cloning this repository via git: If you're on a "too old" version of linux you may have luck with building it inside a "docker" see the docker folder.
#Ffmpeg windows builder free
Another option, typically fastest: temporarily rent a box (ex: DigitalOcean or vultr or oracle cloud free ). Another option: linux on a virtualbox VM.
#Ffmpeg windows builder install
Cheapest way: install windows 10 bash shell. You can build the project on Linux with a cross compiler toolchain, taking about 2 hours for the "options" build.ĭeploy a Linux VM on the host of your choice (>= 20.04 for Ubuntu), or natively on an extra computer or a dual boot system, and also, you could even create a VM temporarily, on a hosting provider such as Digital Ocean.
I do have some "distribution release builds" of running the script here: Ĭross-compiling from a Linux environment: NB if you use WSL Ubuntu 20.04 you need to do an extra step: rdp#452īuilding in windows takes longer but avoids the need of deploying a Linux installation for the same purpose. On Windows 10, you can use the bash shell (provided that you've installed the Windows Subsystem for Linux as explained here. Windows users can use windows bash or virtualbox.īuilding on linux takes less time overall. The script allows the user to either build on a Linux host (which uses cross compiles to build windows binaries). Ping me at and I'll do the work for you :) Note that I do offer custom builds, price negotiable. This helper script lets you cross compile a windows-based 32 or 64-bit version of ffmpeg/mplayer/mp4box.exe, etc, including their dependencies and libraries that they use.
