Here is a list of the equipment we recommend for this tutorial on compiling FFmpeg on your Raspberry Pi. Over the next few sections, we will show you how to install or compile FFmpeg on both a 32-bit and 64-bitt operating system. Using FFmpeg, you will be able to encode and decode a large variety of video and audio codecs. One of the best things about FFmpeg is that it can be compiled across a wide variety of devices, including the Raspberry Pi.

These libraries are designed to deal with a variety of multimedia formats, whether that be an image, video, or audio format.

Make sure your Python version is 3.9 or later.FFmpeg is an open-source project that consists of a considerable range of libraries. See the section for your operating system. It is also possible to set up a more traditional development environment. You only need these instructions if you do not want to use devcontainers. When a task is currently running (like Preview for the docs), it can be restarted by opening the command palette and selecting Tasks: Restart Running Task, then select the task you want to restart. The devcontainer comes with some useful tasks to help you with development, you can start these tasks by opening the command palette and select Tasks: Run Task then select the task you want to run. In the future, if you want to get back to your development environment: open Visual Studio Code, click on the "Remote Explorer" button in the sidebar, select "Containers" at the top of the sidebar. The Dev Container image will then be built (this may take a few minutes), after this your development environment will be ready.When Visual Studio Code asks if you want to install the Remote extension, click "Install".Your browser will prompt you if you want to use Visual Studio Code to open the link, click "Open Link".
