# FFmpeg VVC decoder installation (Windows, Mac OS and Linux)
Windows (Preview of vvc video in ffplay):
![ffmpegplaypreview](https://user-images.githubusercontent.com/88035011/169019033-bcb7fcc7-a196-4436-a396-61db3071280c.png)
# Limitations of FFmpeg VVC decoder
Mac OS doesn't include FFplay only for reason, only Mac OS users have to convert from vvc video to any encoder video codecs available.
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](https://www.iis.fraunhofer.de/en/ff/amm/broadcast-streaming/xheaac.html), there is no decode support of FFmpeg, the reason is a license fee, but except [Exhale](https://gitlab.com/ecodis/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](https://gpac.wp.imt.fr/downloads/gpac-nightly-builds/). Code for mp4box/gpac:
```
mp4box -no-probe -add video.266 -add audio.opus -new convertedvvc.mp4
```
For Linux and Mac OS users: Replace **mp4box** by **gpac**

# Linux downloaders (Important note)
Unfortunately, this is Ubuntu 20.04 LTS built only.
Before you use FFmpeg, make sure you install all these requirements:
```
sudo apt install libxml2 libx264-dev libx265-dev libnuma-dev libxml2 libopus-dev
```
If you are using other linux without Ubuntu 20.04 LTS, you have to build using:
```
sudo apt install build-essential cmake libx264-dev libx265-dev libnuma-dev libxml2 libopus-dev nasm && \
git clone https://github.com/fraunhoferhhi/vvdec.git && cd vvdec \
make release && make install install-prefix=/usr/local && \
cd .. && git clone https://github.com/lehmann-c/FFmpeg.git && cd FFmpeg && \
./configure --enable-gpl \
--enable-version3 \
--enable-libvvdec \
--enable-pic \
--enable-libxml2 \
--enable-libx264 \
--enable-libx265 \
--enable-libopus &&
make -j
```
If compiled is success and finished, you can install FFmpeg, using the code:
