Highlights
FFmpeg 7.0 loopback decoders (-dec / [dec:N]) — [#966]
Decode an already-encoded output stream and feed the decoded frames back into a filtergraph, e.g. to compare an encode against its source in a single command:
:::python
import ffmpeg
source = ffmpeg.input("INPUT")
encoded = source.video.output(filename="-", f="null", vcodec="libx264", extra_options={"crf": 45})
dec = encoded.loopback(stream_index=0) # -> LoopbackDecoderNode
stacked = ffmpeg.filters.hstack(source.video, dec.video)
stacked.output(filename="OUT.mkv", vcodec="ffv1").run()
- New
OutputStream.loopback(stream_index, *, codec=, decoder_options=, codec_options=, extra_options=)returning aLoopbackDecoderNode;dec.video/dec.audiogive typed streams. - Requires FFmpeg ≥ 7.0 — available in the
v7andv8packages (and mirrored in the TypeScript bindings). - Compile direction only for now; parsing a command line containing
-decis tracked in [#969].
Full details in the docs (version-differences / typescript) and the design notes under docs/.
