MainConcept Hybrid HEVC/H.265 Encoder Plug-in 3.2.0

Table of Contents

FFmpeg is widely used in professional content production for file-based transcoding as well as live use cases. Although FFmpeg supports most video formats natively, there is no easy way to make use of MainConcept's industry-leading and professional codec libraries within an FFmpeg workflow.

The MainConcept plug-ins for FFmpeg are a convenient way to solve this problem because they seamlessly integrate into FFmpeg.
