There are many other open source projects based on FFmpeg. A very popular video player on linux is MPlayer. The project is now maintained by a large group of open source and video enthusiasts.

FFmpeg is developed under GNU/Linux, but it can be compiled under most operating systems, including Apple Inc. Mac OS X, Microsoft Windows and AmigaOS. Most computing platforms and microprocessor instruction set architecture are also supported, like x86 (IA-32 and x86-64), PPC (PowerPC), ARM, DEC Alpha, SPARC, and MIPS architecture.

Recently version .5 of FFmpeg was released, although previously FFmpeg developers have always recommended using the latest neutral build from their source code Subversion version control system as development attempts to maintain a stable trunk.[4] Published under the GNU Lesser General Public License or GNU General Public License (depending on which sub-libraries one would include), FFmpeg is free software.

It has been so long since the last release that this 0.5 release should be considered the first FFmpeg release of recent times. Because of the way things have unfolded to date, the notes for this version cannot be entirely conventional. In the next release, it is intended to remove a number of deprecated APIs. We decided to put out a release that includes said APIs for the benefit of third party software. As such, this release: – provides a sync point for said APIs – increases awareness of API changes – allows the next release to detail how to transition from the old to the new The deprecated APIs to be removed are: – imgconvert (to be replaced by libswscale) – vhook (to be replaced by libavfilter)
