FFmpeg is a complete, cross-platform solution to record, convert and stream
audio and video. It includes libavcodec - the leading audio/video codec
library.
===> The following configuration options are available for ffmpeg4-4.4.8_2:
DOCS=on: Build and/or install documentation
===> Use 'make config' to modify these settings
multimedia/ffmpeg4: Mark DEPRECATED and set deprecation to 2026-06-30
We currently have no extra hands or people interested in maintaining
a legacy version of FFmpeg that only a handful of ports are still
depending on. Last upstream release for the 4.4 branch as of writing
is 4.4.6 released on 2025-05-17 so we're more than half a year behind.
multimedia/ffmpeg4: Mark NVDEC option broken
After b57d881bb6e9, the NVDEC option fails to configure or build. This
is a legacy port that we'd very much like to get rid of, so low effort,
but we do need to keep it building with the default options.
*/*: Bump multimedia/openh264 consumers after dc94e01
net/freerdp{,3} have been already bumped in e447cd0, so not being bumped
again.
Bumped by the following one-liner:
$ git grep -l libopenh264 | \
grep '^.*/.*/Makefile$'| \
xargs -t -n1 portedit bump-revision -i
Approved by: portmgr (blanket)
security/mbedtls: Move to security/mbedtls2
The port has expired but isn't removed yet because there are still too
many consumers. Rename it because the name "security/mbedtls" makes it
look like it's the default version.

multimedia/ffmpeg*: enable support for the .data.rel.ro section
enable support for the .data.rel.ro section because the arm64
assembly code in ffmpeg depends on it in case of -pie and -fPIC

multimedia/ffmpeg: fork 4.* into a pinned port
Mainly for leaf consumers: applications but not plugins or libraries.
Otherwise, indirectly mixing different versions of ffmpeg libraries at
runtime can lead to crashes.
To use simply add the following before <bsd.port.mk> or <bsd.port.pre.mk>
.include "${.CURDIR:H:H}/multimedia/ffmpeg4/override.mk"
