FFmpeg 4.0 is now available as the latest major release for this widely-used open-source multimedia encode/decoder library.
FFmpeg 4.0 introduces NVIDIA NVDEC GPU-based decoding for H264 / MJPEG / HEVC / MPEG-1/2/4, VC1, VP8, and VP9 formats. This release also adds an Intel QSV accelerated overlay filter, an OpenCL overlay filter, VA-API MJPEG and VP8 decoding support, new VA-API filters, and many other accelerated code path improvements.
The FFmpeg release also drops support for Windows XP, now supports LibreSSL, and adds a number of new filters, encoders, and decoders.
The full run-down on FFmpeg 4.0 changes can be found via FFmpeg.org.
>FFmpeg It does everything, but isn't the best at anything. MeGUI master race.

IT'S HAPPENING
William Adams
I use VLC, it does everything I need.
FFmpeg is good for converting stuffs tho
John Long
holy shit
ITS HAPPENING GUYS
IF MY COMMANDS DONT WORK AFTER THE UPDATE IM GONNA BE MAD

BRAINLET comment.
Hudson Rogers
Why is everything compiled into one binary instead of calling external ones?
Jason Price
But I've a huge dick tho
come suck it
Matthew Rodriguez
Hasn't it always had NVENC/NVDEC? I've been using it for at least 2 years. Quality was shit.
Or did they finally fix some of the overscan bugs?
Hudson Roberts
I only use ffmpeg for making anime imageboard webms (vp8). Plus I use the version that comes with my distro. So I won't be seeing this latest version for a couple of years at the least.
I just want to do 4 seconds from a yuv444 sample video on my core 2 duo for 72 hours straight. Just because.
Austin Kelly
I actually had to downgrade at work. A newer version introduced a bug on .ulaw conversions to generic .mp4, which triggers at about 2% of all encodes. We have thousands of daily conversions, so...
Andrew Sanchez
it doesn't compile with -flto or even weak graphite optimization. Plus its not in the gentoo tree yet
Camden Hernandez
have you filed a bug report?
Aaron White
We've tried to reproduce the issue in a controlled environment (read it as not using production audio with sensitive info from clients) but by crazy coincidence it wasn't happening reliably. Machines were clones.
As we were forced by management schedule to proceed quickly on other stuff, the report is in the backburner.
Brandon Hernandez
Hallo sir do you have uwhyrus on your Windows mash-een?
Brayden Ward
clones, huh i wonder if there's something about the new version that is causing a hardware problem to surface on your production box but not the test one was it a data-only clone, or are the two machines in question completely identical?

>MeGUI master race I'm using it right this moment. But doesn't MeGUI also use FFMPEG?
Hudson Rogers
It has the option for FFMS2 as a source filter, but it's not very good compared to LSMASH or DGIndex.
Tyler Lopez
it stands for MEncoder GUI, it's a frontend to mencoder (part of the mplayer project) i'm not sure if they even develop mencoder anymore
Adrian Williams
I don't think it has anything to do with mencoder anymore. It calls standalone command-line encoders.
Since I stumbled into a few MeGUI connoisseur anons, can any of you tell me why the OneClickEncoder muxes videos into an intermediate MKV file while the File Indexer method encodes directly without the intermediate MKV?
Isaiah Young
i just wanna know why i can't use the oneclick encoder to have more than 1 of the same language audio track say I want 2 english tracks and 1 japanese track, the 2 english tracks have different soundtracks which is why i'd want both included but i can't double up language tracks in the one click encoder settings (or if I want a stereo track and a surround track of the same language, same idea but not as necessary) the only workaround I've thought of is relabeling the second english track as a different language but even in batch that's an annoying extra step to have to take
Luke Nguyen
May be because the One-click can encode audio and select subs too.
Nicholas Wilson
But I encode audio through the File Indexer method too.
