FFmpeg needs to not change APIs and the way of doing things with every release.

They might have good reasons for the change?

Off topic, but it would be nice if Reaper could take advantage of gpu rendering for video for AMD, Nvidia. Doesn't FFmpeg have cmd lines for this?

On this page https://www.gyan.dev/ffmpeg/builds/
It reads:
hardware-support libraries in all builds
amf cuda cuvid d3d11va dxva2 libvpl nvdec nvenc
So maybe it's just a matter of Reaper adding a command line?
I use a program called Shutter Encoder, and it supports gpu render, and uses FFmpeg.

I've tried adding command line but cannot make it work (always renders via CPU).

Thanks.
I did a test. Downloaded 4.4.1 version (shared) put all the files in the user plugins. I have a amd ryzen apu and windows 10. I did a test like this video using ffmpeg that I put in the user plugins folder.
C:\Users\Wyatt> cd C:\Users\Wyatt\AppData\Roaming\REAPER\UserPlugins
My video I did for a test was 70 mbytes
For cpu render I used this cmd:
Code:
ffmpeg -i input.mp4 -c:v libx264 output.mp4
For Amd gpu I used this cmd:
Code:
ffmpeg -i input.mp4 -c:v h264_amf output.mp4
The cpu render took 43 seconds.
The gpu render took 13 seconds.
So for Reaper to take advatage of gpu, would it mean just adding in the cmd h264_amf for Amd and h264_nvenc for Nvidia?
Sorry I got off topic here. Just thought I wound mention my findings.

Yes, but cant test in Reaper itself. I did a test like shown in this tutorial.
https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=5p4ru2FpSK0
Proof that it could be done. Reaper would have to add the cmd line.
What kind of test did you do?

I've tried to put the commandline options into the "options" field in REAPER (I thought this field is there for commandline options).

It is, but it's probably only for those, which you can see as an example.

Hi, my system repo has `ffmpeg version 5.1.2` and I have that in the $PATH. I understand I need `4.4.1`, but where can I put that so that ONLY Reaper uses it?
I really hope Reaper gets updated to use a newer version, 4.4.1 came out 2021-10-25, we are missing out on a lot of new things.
Cheers.

Thanks EpicSounds!
I found 4.4.1 as a fat binary here: https://ffbinaries.com/downloads
and also in my repo there is a compat version `compat-ffmpeg4-4.4.3-2.el9.x86_64.rpm`, but after I extracted it, rather than an `ffmpeg` executable it is made of many `libav.xxx.so` files. Should I expect this to work, or does it have to be exactly 4.4.1 rather that 4.4.4?
I tried both of those individually in `.config/REAPER/UserPlugins` and I still can't drag in a .mkv file. I am sure it used to work before, I am seeing in Reaper:
```
This version of REAPER supports video decoding/playback via:
• ffmpeg: FFmpeg/libav: minimal build included with REAPER, v2.8-v4.2 can be downloaded separately for more functionality
• vlc: VLC media player: v2.x-v3.x for correct architecture must be downloaded separately
For each imported media file, REAPER will try the available decoders in the priority order listed in Preferences. Append :ext or :ext1,ext2 or :!ext to limit decoders to a specific media file extensions. For example, vlc:mov will try the VLC decoder only for .mov files; ffmpeg:!wmv will try the FFmpeg decoder for files other than .wmv.
Available decoder information:
========== VLC ==========
VLC install path not found, install VLC 2.1.x-3.0.x
========== ffmpeg/libav ==========
ffmpeg/libav not found
ffmpeg/libav search path:
$PATH
```
I don't want it in my $PATH, as I mentioned. Cheers.

I only know about the windows version which should be " ffmpeg-4.4.1-full_build-shared.zip "
Did you try VLC for decoding?

I don't use VLC, I use MPV. I had an FFMPEG executable that worked with Reaper years ago but I put it in the $PATH. Where can I put it in the Reaper dir so it picks it up, can I set my own path to it somehow?

Thanks for the links pman
I have managed to get it working by extracting the RHEL compat version of FFMPEG 4.4x to ~/ffmpeg/lib64/ and running:
```
LD_LIBRARY_PATH=~/ffmpeg/lib64/ ~/opt/REAPER/reaper
```
It seems work, but unfortunately I sometimes get:
```
Segmentation fault (core dumped)
```
When Reaper exits. I can't seem to make a definite reproduction case. Is there anything I can do other than wait for Reaper to be updated to allow for a newer FFMPEG? Cheers.

If updating the FFMPEG version is impossible for some reason, please consider making it easier to load up a version that Reaper can use on ALL platforms where Reaper exists.
Following the Windows instructions of dropping files in ~/.config/REAPER/UserPlugins does NOT work in Linux

It'd be great to see a newer version of ffmpeg supported in Reaper. The quality of videos ffmpeg renders (at the same bitrate/resolution/frame rate) is considerably better than the native Windows encoder, but ffmpeg 4.x renders SO SLOWLY.

Hey, did you figure out how to run the AMD gpu for rendering in Reaper ?

Hi. No. Reaper will have to do it on their end. It's an easy fix I believe. All they have to do is add those cmd line options. It sure would speed up rendering video files.

Well, from the 6.1 news post, https://ffmpeg.org/index.html#news
"Next major release will be version 7.0, scheduled to be released in February. We will attempt to better stick to the new release schedule we announced at the start of this year."
In other words, the .dll names will probably change again, and feb 2024 is 3 months away. Somehow I'd see it fitting to have Reaper 7 add ffmpeg 7 support
