#18256: ffmpeg: set default variants to include all optional codecs ----------------------------------------------------+----------------------- Reporter: devans@… | Owner: acho@… Type: enhancement | Status: new Priority: Normal | Milestone: Port Enhancements Component: ports | Version: 1.7.0 Keywords: vorbis faac faad lame theora x264 xvid | Port: ffmpeg ----------------------------------------------------+----------------------- Description changed by devans@…: Old description:

Per discussion lead by Jean-Michel Pouré on macports-devel [http://lists.macosforge.org/pipermail/macports- dev/2009-January/007102.html] the attached patch sets default_variants to include all available optional codecs on the grounds that the spirit of the distribution is to provide support for conversion between as many different encodings as possible.

This includes {{{ +a52 +extvorbis +faac +faad +lame +theora +x264 +xvid }}} The following variants remain optional by default {{{ +avfilter (experimental) +gpl (automatically included as necessary) +mmx (experimental/buggy) +postproc (experimental) }}} The revision is incremented to reflect the change in port functionality (for the better, IMHO)

In addition, by limiting the default selection of codecs in ffmpeg, the functionality of ports that depend upon ffmpeg (sox, kdenlive, gstreamer, etc) are correspondingly reduced as well.

Revised patch is attached. Is there any feeling as to whether avfilter and postproc should be included in the default? Are they used by any dependent applications? Support for additional encodings could be added if the required libraries were ported but that's another iteration.

Needed to export to HDV (Mpeg2 video + mp3 sound). * x264: export to AVCHD (95% of camcorders sold by Canon in 2009 will be AVCHD). * postproc is needed by MLT. Read our recommanded line: http://www.kdenlive.org/user-manual/downloading-and-installing-kdenlive /installing-source/installing-ffmpeg In video editing, the codecs used in files are unknown and depend on projects. It can be very frustrating for video editors to lack some codecs. -- Ticket URL: <http://trac.macports.org/ticket/18256#comment:8> MacPorts <http://www.macports.org/> Ports system for Mac OS

Please don't pull in all those deps as default. I like to be able to choose what I want to install and I think it is a bit strange to force users to suddenly install GPLed variants. you should still be able to disable what you don't want based on variants. the goal here is to not disadvantage users who just want to install software. they should not have to worry about which variants they need enabled. those who want to customize should be the ones doing the work imo.

For that you would need variants, the latest patch added in this ticket removes all the variants. To be able to disable all those effectively there would need to be +no_feature variants as default variants get pulled in during a port upgrade no matter if they had been disabled via the "-variant" syntax or not. -- Ticket URL: <http://trac.macports.org/ticket/18256#comment:10> MacPorts <http://www.macports.org/> Ports system for Mac OS

This is a good point. I think there should be a single variant called

something like no_gpl which disables all GPLed components (the proposed former variants).

Simon: can you identify all the components that are GPLed?

Sure, according to the configure script the following are GPLed: liba52, libx264, libxvid, libfad2, x11grab, swscale Not all of those have a variant though, but if you explicitly use --disable-gpl configure will bail out when trying to use one of those. -- Ticket URL: <http://trac.macports.org/ticket/18256#comment:13> MacPorts <http://www.macports.org/> Ports system for Mac OS
