The two video codecs are the lossless FFV1, and the lossless and lossy Snow codec. Two video coding formats with corresponding codecs and one container format have been created within the FFmpeg project so far. On January 10, 2014, two Google employees announced that over 1000 bugs had been fixed in FFmpeg during the previous two years by means of fuzz testing. While release versions are available from the website for download, FFmpeg developers recommend that users compile the software from source using the latest build from their source code Git version control system. The project publishes a new release every three months on average. Some FFmpeg developers were also part of the MPlayer project. The project was started by Fabrice Bellard (using the pseudonym "Gérard Lantau") in 2000, and was led by Michael Niedermayer from 2004 until 2015. The logo uses a zigzag pattern that shows how MPEG video codecs handle entropy encoding. The name of the project is inspired by the MPEG video standards group, together with "FF" for "fast forward". FFmpeg includes libavcodec, an audio/video codec library used by several other projects, libavformat (Lavf), an audio/video container mux and demux library, and the ffmpeg command line program for transcoding multimedia files.įFmpeg is published under the GNU Lesser General Public License 2.1+ or GNU General Public License 2+ (depending on which options are enabled).
