      Description: FFmpeg is a complete solution to play, record, convert and stream audio and video.

      Long Description: FFmpeg is a complete solution to record, convert and stream audio and video. It includes libavcodec, the leading audio/video codec library. The project is made of several components: ffmpeg is a command line tool to convert one video file format to another. It also supports grabbing and encoding in real time from a TV card. ffserver is an HTTP (RTSP is being developped) multimedia streaming server for live broadcasts. Time shifting of live broadcast is also supported. ffplay is a simple media player based on SDL and on the ffmpeg libraries. libavcodec is a library containing all the ffmpeg audio/video encoders and decoders. Most codecs were developped from scratch to ensure best performances and high code reusability. libavformat is a library containing parsers and generators for all common audio/video formats.

    If you haven't already installed Darwin Ports, you can find easy instructions for doing so at the main Darwin Ports page.

    Once Darwin Ports has been installed, in a terminal window and while online, type the following and hit return:


      %  cd /opt/local/bin/portslocation/dports/ffmpeg
      % sudo port install ffmpeg
      Password:
    You will then be prompted for your root password, which you should enter. You may have to wait for a few minutes while the software is retrieved from the network and installed for you. Y ou should see something that looks similar to:

      ---> Fetching ffmpeg
      ---> Verifying checksum for ffmpeg
      ---> Extracting ffmpeg
      ---> Configuring ffmpeg
      ---> Building ffmpeg with target all
      ---> Staging ffmpeg into destroot
      ---> Installing ffmpeg
    - Make sure that you do not close the terminal window while Darwin Ports is working. Once the software has been installed, you can find further information about using ffmpeg with these commands:
      %  man ffmpeg
      % apropos ffmpeg
      % which ffmpeg
      % locate ffmpeg
