See the H.265 Encoding Guide for more information and usage examples. Ensure environment is able to resolve path to nasm binary. Run yum remove nasm & hash -d nasm and x264 will then use your newly compiled nasm instead. configure then the outdated nasm package from the repo is installed. Minimum version is nasm-2.13 or similar after running. configure -prefix='$HOME/ffmpeg_build' -bindir='$HOME/bin' -enable-static PKG_CONFIG_PATH='$HOME/ffmpeg_build/lib/pkgconfig'. Requires ffmpeg to be configured with -enable-gpl -enable-libx264. See the H.264 Encoding Guide for more information and usage examples. configure -prefix='$HOME/ffmpeg_build' -bindir='$HOME/bin' Highly recommended or your resulting build may be very slow. For example, if libvpx is not needed, then skip that section and then remove -enable-libvpx from the Install FFmpeg section.Īn assembler used by some libraries. Tip: If you do not require certain encoders you may skip the relevant section and then remove the appropriate. You can easily undo any of this as shown in Reverting Changes Made by This Guide. bin – Where the resulting binaries ( ffmpeg, ffprobe, x264, x265) will be installed.This can be deleted if desired when finished with the guide. ffmpeg_build – Where the files will be built and libraries installed.

ffmpeg_sources – Where the source files will be downloaded.This guide is designed to be non-intrusive and will create several directories in your home directory: You may also refer to the Generic Compilation Guide for additional information about compiling software. These instructions should also work for recent Red Hat Enterprise Linux (RHEL) and Fedora. This guide is based on a minimal installation of the latest CentOS release, and will provide a local, non-system installation of FFmpeg with support for several common external encoding libraries.
