14 DAY TRIAL // FFmpeg, a complete solution to record, convert, and stream audio and video, is now at version 2.4.2 and is available for download.
FFmpeg 2.4.2 has kept the "Fresnel" codename and is now the most advanced version out there. The big release of the 2.4.x branch happened a month ago and this is just a maintenance iteration.
"It is the latest stable FFMpeg release from the 2.4 release branch, which was cut from master on 2014-09-14. Amongst lots of other changes, it includes all changes from ffmpeg-mt, libav master of 2014-09-14, libav 11 as of 2014-10-05,” reads the official announcement.
Some of the updated packages in the latest FFmpeg framework include libavutil, libavcodec, libavformat, libavdevice, libavfilter, libavresample, libswscale, libswresample, and libpostproc. It's also worth noting that FFmpeg is part of the Debian unstable branch again, although it's not certain whether the packages will be integrated into Debian testing in time for the Jessie release.
FFmpeg is the leading multimedia framework able to decode, encode, transcode, mux, demux, stream, filter, and play pretty much any media that humans and machines have created.
A complete list of updates, features, and other fixes can be found in the official announcement. You can download FFmpeg 2.4.2 source package right now from Softpedia.
