To solve this issue, we have released an open-source project, FFmpegInterop library for Windows. Typically, after including FFmpeg libraries, developers have to go through the costly effort of rendering audio and video frames themselves. We have released a set of Compilation Instructions for a WinRT compatible build of FFmpeg. Projects that use FFmpeg libraries include Google Chrome, VLC, and many more.

These libraries are valuable to developers as they add support for virtually all media formats including. As part of this effort we’re very pleased to announce FFmpeg support for Window 8.1, Windows Phone 8.1, and Windows 10 applications.įFmpeg is a free, open-source multimedia framework that includes a set of tools which can be used by end users for transcoding, streaming, and playing, as well as a set of libraries for developers to use in applications. It is important to Microsoft that developers can leverage open-source software when building apps for Windows.
