half-way to world domination A.K.A. the belligerent blue bike shed
For those of you that haven't heard, ffmpeg 0.5 was released today, from their [website](http://ffmpeg.org). It'll be exciting to see what effect this will have on a huge range of media playing software.
It has been a very long time since we last made a release and many did not think we would make one again but, back by popular demand, we are proud to announce a new release: FFmpeg 0.5. Check out the release notes and changelog .
It is codenamed “half-way to world domination A.K.A. the belligerent blue bike shed” to give an idea where we stand in the grand scheme of things and to commemorate the many fruitful discussions we had during its development.
This release includes a very extensive number of changes, but some of the highlights are:
Significant work to support at least decoding of all widespread mainstream proprietary codecs, such as:
decoders and encoders
ALAC
Flash Screen Video
WMAv2 decoder fixed, WMAv1/v2 encoder
decoders
Atrac3
MLP/TrueHD
On2 VP3 improvements and VP5/VP6 support
RealAudio Cooker and fixes for 14.4 and 28.8
RealVideo RV30/40
WMV3/WMV9/VC-1 and IntraX8 frame support for WMV2/VC-1
Broad coverage of widespread non-proprietary codecs, including:
decoders and encoders
DNxHD
DVCPRO50 (a.k.a. DV50)
Floating point PCM
GSM-MS
Theora (and encoding via libtheora)
Vorbis
decoders
AAC with ADTS support and >2x the speed of FAAD! (no HE AAC support yet)
AC-3 that is faster than liba52 in 5.1, up to 2x faster in stereo and also supports E-AC-3! Hence liba52 is now obsolete.
DCA
DVCPRO HD (a.k.a. DV100)
H.264 PAFF and CQM support, plus slice-based multithreaded decoding
Monkey’s Audio
MPEG-2 video support for intra VLC and 4:2:2
Musepack
QCELP
Shorten
True Audio (TTA)
Wavpack including hybrid mode support
Highlights among the newly supported container formats:
demuxers and muxers
GXF
MXF
demuxers
NullSoft Video (NSV)
muxers
iPhone/iPod compatibility for MP4/MOV
Matroska
NUT
Ogg (FLAC, Theora and Vorbis only)
ShockWave Flash (SWF)
libavdevice
ffserver is working again.
a shiny, new, completely revamped, non-recursive build system
cleaner, more consistent code
an all new metadata API
and so much more!
