FFmpeg VVC decoder installation (Windows, Mac OS and Linux)

Windows, Mac and Linux (Preview of vvc video in ffplay):

Limitations of FFmpeg VVC decoder

For Windows, Mac OS and Linux for preview without converting, you can do sample this, including audio support:

ffmpeg_g -i example.266 -i example.opus -vcodec libx264 -acodec libopus -af adelay=1000 -f matroska - | ffplay_g -

Or you can play vvc with audio support:

ffplay_g -i convertedvvc.mp4

Update 21th May 2022 of FFmpeg vvdec support

Good news, you can play .mp4 file after .h266 and audio format were merged into mp4 playable of VVC.

About xHE-AAC, there is no decode support of FFmpeg, the reason is a license fee, but except Exhale (encoder) is free to use and open source. However, you can also merge encoded xHE-AAC audio into mp4 too.

To make playable mp4 with audio and video together, you need VVC video encoded, audio file and GPAC Nightly build. Code for mp4box/gpac:

mp4box -no-probe -add video.266 -add audio.opus -new convertedvvc.mp4

Containers are also acceptable video containers of .mkv, .mp4, .mov and more.

For Linux and Mac OS users: Replace mp4box by gpac
