You can download version 0.6 from the <a href=\"http:\/\/ffmpeg.org\/download.html\">project&#8217;s download page<\/a>.<\/p>\n<p>I&#8217;ve actually been seeing more news items about this today than I would have expected. This is most likely because the 0.6 release is named <em>&#8220;Works with HTML5&#8221;<\/em>. Let it never be said that nerds don&#8217;t know marketing. The team really latched on to the hottest buzzword going right now.<\/p>\n<p>The name of the release refers to FFmpeg&#8217;s new native support for <a href=\"http:\/\/www.webmproject.org\/\">Google&#8217;s WebM format<\/a>. It can mux and demux the WebM container, and decode the Vorbis audio, all natively (FFmpeg&#8217;s Vorbis encoder has been demoted to &#8220;experimental&#8221; for this release and it is recommended to enable libvorbis for encoding). But the big news is that this release can support Google&#8217;s libvpx natively for VP8 encoding and decoding, without having to apply any other patches.<\/p>\n<p>Getting libvpx to compile still might be a bit tricky. Fortunately, the <a href=\"http:\/\/lists.mplayerhq.hu\/pipermail\/ffmpeg-devel\/2010-June\/090751.html\">first pass of a native, independent VP8 decoder<\/a> is currently in review on the ffmpeg-devel list.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>FFmpeg 0.6 is out and apparently has something to do wth HTML5<\/p>\n","protected":false},"author":1,"featured_media":0,"comment_status":"open","ping_status":"open","sticky":false,"template":"","format":"standard","meta":{"footnotes":""},"categories":[3],"tags":[],"class_list":["post-2556","post","type-post","status-publish","format-standard","hentry","category-open-source-multimedia"],"aioseo_notices":[],"_links":{"self":[{"href":"https:\/\/multimedia.cx\/eggs\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/2556","targetHints":{"allow":["GET"]}}],"collection":[{"href":"https:\/\/multimedia.cx\/eggs\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts"}],"about":[{"href":"https:\/\/multimedia.cx\/eggs\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/types\/post"}],"author":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/multimedia.cx\/eggs\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/users\/1"}],"replies":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/multimedia.cx\/eggs\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/comments?post=2556"}],"version-history":[{"count":4,"href":"https:\/\/multimedia.cx\/eggs\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/2556\/revisions"}],"predecessor-version":[{"id":2560,"href":"https:\/\/multimedia.cx\/eggs\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/2556\/revisions\/2560"}],"wp:attachment":[{"href":"https:\/\/multimedia.cx\/eggs\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media?parent=2556"}],"wp:term":[{"taxonomy":"category","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/multimedia.cx\/eggs\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/categories?post=2556"},{"taxonomy":"post_tag","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/multimedia.cx\/eggs\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/tags?post=2556"}],"curies":[{"name":"wp","href":"https:\/\/api.w.org\/{rel}","templated":true}]}}
