Which ffmpeg package I should download for macOS?












3















I visited https://www.ffmpeg.org/download.html#build-mac to download ffmpeg & ffprobe for Mac OS X High Sierra 10.13. I found the following packages:




  • Static builds for OS X Intel 64-bit


  • Builds 32-bit and 64-bit for OS X 10.5 and above


  • Static and shared builds for macOS 64-bit



Which package I should download? Wnd what's the difference between them?

You can install ffmpeg via three methods:




  • Downloading a static build from ffmpeg.org. Choose these if you want a simple-to-run program that comes with many features. You have to manually update it, though. Also, for licensing reasons, static builds cannot bundle all third-party dependencies.


  • Installing from Homebrew via brew install ffmpeg. You get the most common dependencies (encoders etc.) installed along and it auto-updates when you update Homebrew.


  • Building from source (see here). This usually is not required.



Some help for choosing a static build:




  • If you want a build that runs without any external dependencies, download a static build.


  • If you have a 64-Bit operating system (i.e. anything above OS X 10.7), download a 64-Bit build.


  • The builds on evermeet.cx require OS X 10.9, while the builds from Zeranoe require OS X 10.10.


  • The Zeranoe builds have a few more third-party dependencies enabled by default. (Compare the configuration lines on the respective websites or in the READMEs.)

    To answer your question by going off on a slight tangent.



    I installed ffmpeg using Homebrew with brew install ffmpeg which has the advantage of building it and installing it with all the necessary requirements automatically. It builds the most recent stable version with commonly used dependencies.
