Static builds of ffmpeg for Python

Installation

From pip:

pip install ffmpeg-binaries

Basic usage

import ffmpeg

# Initialize module (only if no binaries found)
ffmpeg.init()

# Call ffmpeg directly
ffmpeg.run_as_ffmpeg("-h")

# Call ffprobe directly
ffmpeg.run_as_ffprobe("-h")

# Use the binaries path in other modules
other_module.add_ffmpeg(ffmpeg.FFMPEG_PATH)

# Add directly to path
ffmpeg.add_to_path()

Import name conflict

If another dependency aleady uses the ffmpeg import name, like typed-ffmpeg or ffmpeg-python, you can install the mirror package instead:

pip install ffmpeg-binaries-compat

and use it with the import name ffmpeg_binaries:

import ffmpeg_binaries as ffmpeg

# Initialize module (only if no binaries found)
ffmpeg.init()

# Call ffmpeg directly
ffmpeg.run_as_ffmpeg("-h")

# Call ffprobe directly
ffmpeg.run_as_ffprobe("-h")

# Use the binaries path in other modules
other_module.add_ffmpeg(ffmpeg.FFMPEG_PATH)

# Add directly to path
ffmpeg.add_to_path()
