It's taken me a month of Sundays (Mondays, Tuesday and Wednesdays) but finally got a FULL set of fully feature enabled 4.0.2 ffmpeg and tools (ffplay, ffprobe etc.) built for Windows 32/64bit from the latest (4.0.2) source.

Some of those who have used the NewTek ffmpeg build (shipped with SDK 3.5) will notice that 99% of the other devices, codecs and plugins have been disabled in their build. Let alone the fact that all of the tools like ffplay are just missing). You will probably be also aware (as I became) that nobody else is preparing Windows binaries that include the NDI support. For example using the Newtek build you can't suck in an NDI feed and h.264 encode it using the hardware encoders on Gforce or Quadro cards (you can use encode it using the 'software' x.264 encoder), but that's no good if you require to offload encoding to save CPU resources.

Now because of the of the odd miss-mash of licencing of various components (MIT, GPL-2, GPL-3, Nvidia, Blackmagic, Franahoff etc.) I don't think I can legally distribute the windows binaries of my build, but happy to share with friends - I am open to making new friends. :)

This build has EVERY option, codec, device and plug in I can find, and is really designed for protyping, rather than production, however I may be able to help build custom ffmpegs, if you need one optimised.

Just let me know if you would like to 'test' my binaries, I could do with some feedback.

All The Best

Great job I intended to do but never did! The Newtek version was enough for what I wanted to do but a full version is a very nice tool to have...

I'm very much interested if you still want to share. I'd be happy to test it and report feedback.

Congrats!
Guillaume

Greetings Keith

If you still have this I'd be very interested.

Do you have information on what you did to build it?

Trying to understand the instructions on ffmpeg windows builds seems really difficult (it clearly assumes knowledge that I don't have!)

Thanks

Phil

Hello,

no reaction of kgoodyer. :(

That would be that nice, to get an ffmpeg with nvenc support.

May be somebody can send me the ffmpeg version?

Thanks!!

I Know this thread is old, but it caught my attention.

I managed to find a version of FFMPEG with NDI and decklink support.
I’m looking for correct command line arguments to output and NDI to SDI with the decklink module.

I’ve been able to see SDI output on the decline card, but frame rate is poor and ffmpeg reports many duplicated frames.

Hi Keith

I’d love to test one of your builds. I am very interested in your multi RTMP outputs from NDI.

Thanks
