Static builds of FFmpeg from BtbN
A strictly confined snap package containing the master GPL builds of FFmpeg provided by BtbN. This package contains statically compiled binaries for ffmpeg, ffprobe, and ffplay. This package will be updated on a weekly basis and the version of the package is the update date.
For security, this snap is built without network access. It can safely process local media files in your home directory or on external drives.
Important Note: Because ffmpeg is a highly contested and common command name, all the commands are hidden behind unofficial-btbn-ffmpeg namespace. If this package is the only ffmpeg deb/flatpak/snap package you are going to use on your system, after installation, please define aliases for the commands using:
sudo snap alias unofficial-btbn-ffmpeg.ffmpeg ffmpeg sudo snap alias unofficial-btbn-ffmpeg.ffprobe ffprobe sudo snap alias unofficial-btbn-ffmpeg.ffplay ffplay
