Two Rookie question about ffmpeg version and Handbrake on stable.
by viel from LinuxQuestions.org on (#6NDNJ)
Hi,
I was updating Handsbrake from SBO and I see that it download FFMPEG 7.0 and I think ... maybe it will be statically compiled ... what version of FFMPEG will I have installed?
If I install Handbrake for Slackware 15 stable, it would not be good to use the same FFMPEG version that I have installed?
So in the slackbuild readme:
Quote:
Ok this was Sense.
Does Handsbrake need a specific version of FFMPEG to compile? Why isn't it required?
Can I compile it with another version?
So I thought, could different bugs affect me depending on FFMPEG used?
If SBO Slackbuild script is updated tomorrow and I can't remeber what version was used. How can I know what FFMPEG version was used to compile?
Code:[root@arcadia]# cat /var/log/packages/ffmpeg-4.4.1-x86_64-2 | grep so
ffmpeg: ffmpeg (software to record, convert and stream audio and video)

Sometimes I lose myself.
Then I see that I have the FFMPEG 4.4.1 version that is up to date for Stable and I see on the web a new version 4.4.4. We have to update?

They are unimportant and not to worry?
There are days that I get up thick, sorry if there is any obvious or dumb question.
Thanks.

So in the slackbuild readme:

| Handbrake Does Not Support Linking to Most System Libraries for MANY OF ITS DEPENDENCIES DUE TO THE LARGE NUMBER OF PATCHES IT UTLIZES FOR THOSE PROJECTS, SO ID WILL COMPILE AND STATICLY LINK THOSE DURING THE BUILD. |
