It supports the most obscure ancient formats up to the cutting edge. No matter if they were designed by some standards committee, the community or a corporation. It is also highly portable: FFmpeg compiles, runs, and passes our testing infrastructure FATE across Linux, Mac OS X, Microsoft Windows, the BSDs, Solaris, etc. under a wide variety of build environments, machine architectures, and configurations. * It contains libavcodec, libavutil, libavformat, libavfilter, libavdevice, libswscale and libswresample which can be used by applications. * As well as ffmpeg, ffplay and ffprobe which can be used by end users for transcoding and playing. * See for more details. **FFmpeg Release** * ffmpeg, ffplay and ffprobe can be called directly * Libraries (and other files) available on 'ffmpeg' slot. * 'mesa-2604' snap is required as dependency. **Post install commands required for apps to access media folders different than 'home' :** sudo snap connect ffmpeg-tak:removable-media **!!! Files can only be read from a directory owned by the user launching the app !!!** This is due to current behavior and restrictions of snaps by Canonical. * RISCV Candidate channel is reserved for RISCV w/o RVA23 until a dedicated channel-branch is made // Based on Core24 // 'mesa-2404' snap is required as dependency. ### Package name * ffmpeg-tak --- ### License * MIT --- ### Last updated * 24 October 2026 - latest/stable * 16 October 2026 - latest/edge --- ### Websites * [www.ffmpeg.org](https://www.ffmpeg.org "https://www.ffmpeg.org") --- ### Contact * [tehappkiller@proton.me](mailto:tehappkiller@proton.me "mailto:tehappkiller@proton.me") * [mastodon.social](https://mastodon.social/@TehAppKiller "https://mastodon.social/@TehAppKiller") --- ### Donations * [whydonate.com](https://whydonate.com/en/fundraising/help-teh-devz "https://whydonate.com/en/fundraising/help-teh-devz") --- ### Source code * [github.com/TehAppKiller/ffmpeg-tak](https://github.com/TehAppKiller/ffmpeg-tak "https://github.com/TehAppKiller/ffmpeg-tak") --- ### Report a bug * [github.com/TehAppKiller/ffmpeg-tak/issues](https://github.com/TehAppKiller/ffmpeg-tak/issues "https://github.com/TehAppKiller/ffmpeg-tak/issues") --- ##### Report a Snap Store violation * [Report this Snap](https://snapcraft.io/install/ffmpeg-tak/arch#report-snap-modal) --- ## Enable snaps on Arch Linux and install ffmpeg-tak Snaps are applications packaged with all their dependencies to run on all popular Linux distributions from a single build. They update automatically and roll back gracefully. Snaps are discoverable and installable from the [Snap Store](https://snapcraft.io/store), an app store with an audience of millions. ### Enable snapd On Arch Linux, snap can be installed from the [Arch User Repository (AUR).](https://aur.archlinux.org/packages/snapd/) The [manual build process](https://wiki.archlinux.org/index.php/Arch_User_Repository#Installing_packages) is the Arch-supported install method for AUR packages, and you’ll need the [prerequisites](https://wiki.archlinux.org/index.php/Arch_User_Repository#Prerequisites) installed before you can install any AUR package. You can then install snap with the following: ``` git clone https://aur.archlinux.org/snapd.git cd snapd makepkg -si ``` Once installed, the *systemd* unit that manages the main snap communication socket needs to be enabled: ``` sudo systemctl enable --now snapd.socket ``` If [AppArmor](https://wiki.archlinux.org/title/AppArmor) is enabled in your system, enable the service which loads AppArmor profiles for snaps: ``` sudo systemctl enable --now snapd.apparmor.service ``` To enable *classic* snap support, enter the following to create a symbolic link between `/var/lib/snapd/snap` and `/snap`: ``` sudo ln -s /var/lib/snapd/snap /snap ``` Either log out and back in again, or restart your system, to ensure snap’s paths are updated correctly. ### Install ffmpeg-tak To install ffmpeg-tak, simply use the following command: ``` sudo snap install ffmpeg-tak ``` ### Other popular snaps… [See more...](https://snapcraft.io/search?categories=featured) [See more in Featured](https://snapcraft.io/search?categories=featured) ### More things to do… #### [Get the snap store](https://snapcraft.io/snap-store) Browse and find snaps from the convenience of your desktop using the snap store snap. #### [Learn more about snaps](https://snapcraft.io/docs) Interested to find out more about snaps?
