14 DAY TRIAL // FFmpeg is a complete solution to record, convert, and stream audio and video. A new stable version has been released and the devs have upgraded most of the packages that are provided.
FFmpeg 2.5.1 is just a maintenance update for the 2.5.x branch that was made available just a few days ago. The codename for this one is "Bohr" and users will certainly see a lot more of it once developers start integrating it in operating systems.
"2.5.1 was released on 2014-12-15. It is the latest stable FFMpeg release from the 2.5 release branch, which was cut from master on 2014-12-15. Amongst lots of other changes, it includes all changes from ffmpeg-mt, libav master of 2014-12-03, libav 11 as of 2014-12-03," reads the official announcement.
The following packages have been upgraded: libavutil, libavcodec, libavformat, libavdevice, libavfilter, libavresample, libswscale, libswresample, and libpostproc. FFmpeg is the leading multimedia framework able to decode, encode, transcode, mux, demux, stream, filter, and play pretty much any media that humans and machines have created.
A complete list of updates, features, and other fixes can be found in the official announcement. You can download FFmpeg 2.5.1 right now from Softpedia, but do keep in mind that this is the source package and it needs to be compiled.
