FFmpeg is a comprehensive—and for some the de facto standard—software library collection for video conversion on Linux and BSD platforms. While some Linux distributions (e.g., Ubuntu, Gentoo, Slackware, Arch Linux, OpenSuSE) include FFmpeg, Windows users have to install additional packages to setup FFmpeg: MinGW/MSYS or cygwin or a special version of the gcc compiler with related tools or MSVC. For those who find compiling FFmpeg tedious can use FFmpeg builds. Download and unzip the static package from http://ffmpeg./builds/. This FFmpeg build was configured with the following: --disable-static --enable-shared --enable-gpl --enable-version3 --disable-w32threads --enable-avisynth --enable-bzlib --enable-fontconfig --enable-frei0r --enable-gnutls --enable-iconv --enable-libass --enable-libbluray --enable-libbs2b --enable-libcaca --enable-libdcadec --enable-libfreetype --enable-libgme --enable-libgsm --enable-libilbc --enable-libmodplug --enable-libmp3lame --enable-libopencore-amrnb --enable-libopencore-amrwb --enable-libopenjpeg --enable-libopus --enable-librtmp --enable-libschroedinger --enable-libsoxr --enable-libspeex --enable-libtheora --enable-libtwolame --enable-libvidstab --enable-libvo-aacenc --enable-libvo-amrwbenc --enable-libvorbis --enable-libvpx --enable-libwavpack --enable-libwebp --enable-libx264 --enable-libx265 --enable-libxavs --enable-libxvid --enable-lzma --enable-decklink --enable-zlib
