Video support in REAPER
REAPER supports video files right off the bat. By default, each architecture uses a different playback system:
- Windows: Video playback is provided by DirectShow
- Mac OSX: Video playback is provided by QuickTime
This could be overridden by using the FFmpeg support described below.
Rendering video
Starting with v3.52, REAPER supports loading and rendering into AVI and MKV (Matroska) files. The supported codecs are DV, FFV1 (lossless) and Huffyuv (lossless).
Improved video support
REAPER supports decoding and encoding video files using FFmpeg. FFmpeg provides faster video decoding and is usually more supported than the default DirectShow and QuicktTime architectures.
To install, you'll need to obtain the FFmpeg librairies. These could be found in the following websites:
- http://aegiscorp.free.fr/ffmpeg/ - Provides FFmpeg librairies for Windows x32, x64 and Mac OSX
- http://ffmpeg.arrozcru.org/builds/ - Provides daily automated FFmpeg librairies for Windows x32 and x64
More information
- REAPER uses code of FFmpeg licensed under the LGPLv2.1 and its source can be downloaded at http://reaper.fm/lgpl/
