@chapter External libraries

FFmpeg can be hooked up with a number of external libraries to add support
for more formats. None of them are used by default, their use has to be
explicitly requested by passing the appropriate flags to
@command{./configure}.

@section OpenJPEG

FFmpeg can use the OpenJPEG libraries for encoding/decoding J2K videos.  Go to
@url{http://www.openjpeg.org/} to get the libraries and follow the installation
instructions.  To enable using OpenJPEG in FFmpeg, pass @code{--enable-libopenjpeg} to
@file{./configure}.


@section OpenCORE and VisualOn libraries

Spun off Google Android sources, OpenCore, VisualOn and Fraunhofer
libraries provide encoders for a number of audio codecs.

@code{X} means that encoding (resp. decoding) is supported.

@code{E} means that support is provided through an external library.

@code{I} means that an integer-only version is available, too (ensures high
performance on systems without hardware floating point support).
