@chapter External libraries
-Libav can be hooked up with a number of external libraries to add support
+FFmpeg can be hooked up with a number of external libraries to add support
for more formats. None of them are used by default, their use has to be
explicitly requested by passing the appropriate flags to
@command{./configure}.
-@section Alliance for Open Media libaom
+@section Alliance for Open Media (AOM)
-Libav can make use of the libaom and libdav1d libraries for AV1 decoding.
+FFmpeg can make use of the AOM library for AV1 decoding and encoding.
Go to @url{http://aomedia.org/} and follow the instructions for
-installing libaom. Then pass @code{--enable-libaom} to configure to
+installing the library. Then pass @code{--enable-libaom} to configure to
enable it.
-Go to @url{https://code.videolan.org/videolan/dav1d/} and follow the
-instructions for installing libdav1d. Then pass @code{--enable-libdav1d}
-to configure to enable it.
+@section AMD AMF/VCE
-@section OpenCORE and VisualOn libraries
+FFmpeg can use the AMD Advanced Media Framework library under Windows
+for accelerated H.264 and HEVC encoding on hardware with Video Coding Engine (VCE).
-Spun off Google Android sources, OpenCore, VisualOn and Fraunhofer
-libraries provide encoders for a number of audio codecs.
+To enable support you must obtain the AMF framework header files from
+@url{https://github.com/GPUOpen-LibrariesAndSDKs/AMF.git}.
+
+Create an @code{AMF/} directory in the system include path.
+Copy the contents of @code{AMF/amf/public/include/} into that directory.
+Then configure FFmpeg with @code{--enable-amf}.
+
+@section AviSynth
+
+FFmpeg can read AviSynth scripts as input. To enable support, pass
+@code{--enable-avisynth} to configure. The correct headers are
+included in compat/avisynth/, which allows the user to enable support
+without needing to search for these headers themselves.
+
+For Windows, supported AviSynth variants are
+@url{http://avisynth.nl, AviSynth 2.6 RC1 or higher} for 32-bit builds and
+@url{http://avisynth.nl/index.php/AviSynth+, AviSynth+ r1718 or higher} for 32-bit and 64-bit builds.
+
+For Linux and OS X, the supported AviSynth variant is
+@url{https://github.com/avxsynth/avxsynth, AvxSynth}.
@float NOTE
-OpenCORE and VisualOn libraries are under the Apache License 2.0
-(see @url{http://www.apache.org/licenses/LICENSE-2.0} for details), which is
-incompatible with the LGPL version 2.1 and GPL version 2. You have to
-upgrade Libav's license to LGPL version 3 (or if you have enabled
-GPL components, GPL version 3) to use it.
+In 2016, AviSynth+ added support for building with GCC. However, due to
+the eccentricities of Windows' calling conventions, 32-bit GCC builds
+of AviSynth+ are not compatible with typical 32-bit builds of FFmpeg.
+
+By default, FFmpeg assumes compatibility with 32-bit MSVC builds of
+AviSynth+ since that is the most widely-used and entrenched build
+configuration. Users can override this and enable support for 32-bit
+GCC builds of AviSynth+ by passing @code{-DAVSC_WIN32_GCC32} to
+@code{--extra-cflags} when configuring FFmpeg.
+
+64-bit builds of FFmpeg are not affected, and can use either MSVC or
+GCC builds of AviSynth+ without any special flags.

-@subsection OpenCORE AMR
+@float NOTE
+AviSynth and AvxSynth are loaded dynamically. Distributors can build FFmpeg
+with @code{--enable-avisynth}, and the binaries will work regardless of the
+end user having AviSynth or AvxSynth installed - they'll only need to be
+installed to use AviSynth scripts (obviously).

-Libav can make use of the OpenCORE libraries for AMR-NB
-decoding/encoding and AMR-WB decoding.
+@section Chromaprint
-Go to @url{http://sourceforge.net/projects/opencore-amr/} and follow the
-instructions for installing the libraries.
-Then pass @code{--enable-libopencore-amrnb} and/or
-@code{--enable-libopencore-amrwb} to configure to enable them.

-@subsection VisualOn AAC encoder library
+@section codec2
-Libav can make use of the VisualOn AACenc library for AAC encoding.
+FFmpeg can make use of the codec2 library for codec2 decoding and encoding.
+There is currently no native decoder, so libcodec2 must be used for decoding.
-Go to @url{http://sourceforge.net/projects/opencore-amr/} and follow the
-instructions for installing the library.
-Then pass @code{--enable-libvo-aacenc} to configure to enable it.
+Go to @url{http://freedv.org/}, download "Codec 2 source archive".
+Build and install using CMake. Debian users can install the libcodec2-dev package instead.
+Once libcodec2 is installed you can pass @code{--enable-libcodec2} to configure to enable it.
-@subsection VisualOn AMR-WB encoder library
+The easiest way to use codec2 is with .c2 files, since they contain the mode information required for decoding.
+To encode such a file, use a .c2 file extension and give the libcodec2 encoder the -mode option:
+@code{ffmpeg -i input.wav -mode 700C output.c2}.
+Playback is as simple as @code{ffplay output.c2}.
+For a list of supported modes, run @code{ffmpeg -h encoder=libcodec2}.
+Raw codec2 files are also supported.
+To make sense of them the mode in use needs to be specified as a format option:
+@code{ffmpeg -f codec2raw -mode 1300 -i input.raw output.wav}.
-Libav can make use of the VisualOn AMR-WBenc library for AMR-WB encoding.
+@section dav1d

-@code{--enable-avisynth} to configure to enable AviSynth support.

-
-@float NOTE
-When using AviSynth+'s installed headers, the user must also pass
-the avisynth/ include directory to @code{--extra-cflags}. For example,
-if the PREFIX given to AviSynth+'s Makefile was /usr/i686-w64-mingw32,
