FFmpeg 8.1 Released with Rockchip & JPEG-XS Support [Ubuntu PPA] | UbuntuHandbook
FFmpeg, the popular multimedia library, release new major 8.1 version yesterday on March 16th.
The new version, code-name “Hoare”, features some new encoders and decoders for more codecs support, new filters, and other improvements.
First, FFmpeg 8.1 added experimental decoding support for xHE-AAC Mps212, an audio codec designed for low-bitrate streaming and digital radio, and MPEG-H 3D audio decoding by using the mpeghdec library.
It also added both encoding and decoding support for JPEG-XS, the codec designed for professional video over IP in broadcast and other scenarios, such as virtual reality, drones, or gaming.
As well as JPEG-XS parser and JPEG-XS raw bitstream muxer and demuxer, they are supported by using libsvtjpegxs library.
