14 DAY TRIAL // FFmpeg, a complete solution to record, convert, and stream audio and video, has advanced to version 2.4.1 and is ready for download.
FFmpeg 2.4.1 “Fresnel” is the latest major release of the software and this is a major update. After a number of maintenance builds for the previous version, a new iteration is now out.
“The FFMpeg Project proudly presents FFmpeg 2.4 "Fresnel", just 2 months after the release of 2.3. Since this wasn't a long time ago, the changelog is a bit short this time. The most important thing in this release is the major version bump of the libraries. This means that this release is neither ABI-compatible nor fully API-compatible. But on the other hand it is aligned with the Libav release series, and will as a result probably end up being maintained for a long time,” reads the official announcement.
FFmpeg is the leading multimedia framework able to decode, encode, transcode, mux, demux, stream, filter, and play pretty much any media that humans and machines have created.
The latest branch of FFmpeg, 2.4.1, comes with a lot of new features, such as assembly optimizations for HEVC, native Opus decoder, QTKit and AVFoundation, various API additions, and numerous other features.
A complete list of updates, features, and other fixes can be found in the official announcement. You can download FFmpeg 2.4.1 source package right now from Softpedia.
