FFmpeg with Docker

This repo contains two Dockerfiles: Dockerfile.ffmpeg-dyn and Dockerfile.ffmpeg-frozen. The former is built on ubuntu:latest and uses the latest FFmpeg snapshot; the latter is built on ubuntu:24.04 and uses FFmpeg 7.1.

This exists primarily because I wanted to have available the libfdk_aac library (Fraunhofer FDK AAC) in other projects, such as audiotame. It is not shipped with FFmpeg by default due to licensing issues.

Docker/Podman

podman build -f Dockerfile.ffmpeg-frozen -t ffmpeg:latest

Or, pull the image:

podman pull veralvx/ffmpeg:latest

Then, run it:

podman run -it --rm -v $(pwd)/workspace ffmpeg
