FFmpeg VVC En/decoder & xHE-AAC installation (Windows, Mac OS and Linux)

Windows, Mac and Linux (Preview of VVC video in FFplay):

ffmpegplaypreview macos_vvceasy_ff linux_vvceasy_ff

Play video file

You can play VVC video codec with .h266, .vvc, .266 and anything or .mp4 mixed with VVC codec:

ffplay_vvceasy versatile.266

Or if you have xHE-AAC audio codec:

ffplay_vvceasy -codec:a libfdk_aac -i versatile.m4a

Limitations of FFmpeg VVC encoder

Before encode to VVC video codec, see the limitations below.

libvvenc (FFmpeg vvc version) works for:

  • Pixel format ⚠️ (only pixel format 10 bit)
  • Video size (auto detects, but it doesn't detect for SAR and DAR anamorphic is glitch and corrupts the video) ⚠️ (Better way to use vvencapp without FFmpeg)
  • Frame rate ✅ (auto detects)
  • MP4/TS Mux ✅ (only works for stable if it's encoded VVC with MP4 or TS on FFmpeg and mp4box for muxing still works)
  • Mux MP4/TS container from raw bitstream on FFmpeg ⚠️ (the first frame freezes may just print error messages for libvvdec when muxed and seeking in FFmpeg, use mp4box for recommendation)
  • Matroska mux ⚠️ (Only matroska mux has an experimental, causing problem of the video sync delay with audio and others for FFmpeg libvvdec. It is unofficial support)
  • Demux ✅
  • Audio with encode VVC ✅
  • Broadcasting ✅ (MPEG-TS)
  • Streaming ✅ (MPEG-DASH)
  • Bitrates ✅
  • Passes ⚠️ (you may need get passes using vvenc params on FFmpeg VVCEasy or use vvencapp)
  • Presets ✅
  • QP ✅
  • HDR ✅

Built in libvvenc for FFmpeg command:

ffmpeg -i example.mp4 -c:v libvvenc -qp 37 -preset slow example.266

For more options for libvvenc in FFmpeg VVCEasy version, type ffmpeg_vvceasy -h encoder=libvvenc for available commands.

Additional command: You can convert to VVC video without taking a much space for vvencapp, example:

ffmpeg -i example.mp4 -pix_fmt yuv420p -f yuv4mpegpipe - | vvencapp --y4m -i - --preset medium --qp 35 -o converted.266

Converting xHE-AAC to AAC audio:

ffmpeg -c:a libfdk_aac -i mymusic.m4a -c:a aac -b:a 128k mymusic.aac

Replace video size for -s and frame rate for -r.

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, now it's available decode support xHE-AAC of FFmpeg. Exhale (encoder) is free to use and open source, but if you want Fraunhofer IIS xHE-AAC, you can download EZ CD Audio Converter for Windows only. You can also merge your 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 to merge VVC video encoded and audio file:

mp4box -add video.266 -add audio.m4a -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

Note about downloads

I use always Windows to compile FFmpeg, so I forgot to compile every time for Mac OS and Linux. Also, please check changelog before you download the new version.

Build Mac OS for FFmpeg VVC build

Requirements:

Xcode

CMake

NASM

Homebrew

Code to build FFmpeg VVC version:

brew install libxml2 ffmpeg nasm
git clone https://github.com/fraunhoferhhi/vvenc
git clone https://github.com/fraunhoferhhi/vvdec
git clone https://github.com/mstorsjo/fdk-aac
cd vvenc && mkdir build && cd build
cmake -DCMAKE_BUILD_TYPE=Release -DCMAKE_INSTALL_PREFIX=/usr/local ..
sudo cmake --build . --target install -j $nproc
cd ../../
cd vvdec && mkdir build && cd build
cmake -DCMAKE_BUILD_TYPE=Release -DCMAKE_INSTALL_PREFIX=/usr/local ..
sudo cmake --build . --target install -j $nproc
cd ../../
cd fdk-aac && ./autogen.sh && ./configure
make -j
sudo make install
cd ../
git clone --depth=1 https://github.com/MartinEesmaa/FFmpeg-FixVVC
cd FFmpeg-FixVVC
export PKG_CONFIG_PATH=/usr/local/lib/pkgconfig
./configure --enable-libfdk-aac --enable-libvvenc --enable-libvvdec --enable-static --enable-pic --enable-libxml2 --pkg-config-flags="--static" --enable-sdl2
make -j

Linux builders (Important for FFplay)

You can build using Linux script.

If you want actually play VVC file with FFplay on your local distro, you need to remove command --extra-ldexeflags="-static", otherwise it might give result segmentation fault for FFplay static only.

If compiling is success and finished, you can install FFmpeg VVC for using the code:

mv ffmpeg ffmpeg_vvceasy
mv ffplay ffplay_vvceasy
mv ffprobe ffprobe_vvceasy
sudo cp ffmpeg_vvceasy ffplay_vvceasy ffprobe_vvceasy /usr/local/bin
