Generate list of recent images
You can use the following command to generate a list of current images:
$ curl --silent https://hub.docker.com/v2/repositories/jrottenberg/ffmpeg/tags/?page_size=500 | jq -cr ".results|sort_by(.name)|reverse[]|.sz=(.full_size/1048576|floor|tostring+\"mb\")|[.name,( (20-(.name|length))*\" \" ),.sz,( (8-(.sz|length))*\" \"),.last_updated[:10]]|@text|gsub(\"[,\\\"\\\]\\\[]\";null)"
If you want to compare the one you have locally, use the following command:
$ docker images | grep ffmpeg | sort | awk '{print $1 ":" $2 "\t" $7 $8}'
Please use Github issues to report any bug or missing feature.

Capture output from the container to the host running the command
docker run jrottenberg/ffmpeg:4.4-alpine \
-i http://url/to/media.mp4 \
-stats \
$ffmpeg_options - > out.mp4
Examples
Extract 5s @00:49:42 into a GIF
docker run jrottenberg/ffmpeg:4.4-alpine -stats \
-i http://archive.org/download/thethreeagesbusterkeaton/Buster.Keaton.The.Three.Ages.ogv \
-loop 0 \
-final_delay 500 -c:v gif -f gif -ss 00:49:42 -t 5 - > trow_ball.gif
Convert 10bits MKV into a 10Bits MP4
docker run -v $(pwd):$(pwd) -w $(pwd) jrottenberg/ffmpeg:4.4-scratch \
-stats \
-i http://www.jell.yfish.us/media/jellyfish-20-mbps-hd-hevc-10bit.mkv \
-c:v libx265 -pix_fmt yuv420p10 \
-t 5 -f mp4 test.mp4
The image has been compiled with X265 Multilib. Use the pixel format switch to change the number of bits per pixel by suffixing it with 10 for 10bits or 12 for 12bits.
Convert a local GIF into a mp4
Let's assume original.gif
is located in the current directory :
docker run -v $(pwd):$(pwd) -w $(pwd)\
jrottenberg/ffmpeg:4.4-scratch -stats \
-i original.gif \
original-converted.mp4
Use ZeroMQ to toggle filter value on-fly
Let's start some process continuously writing some radio music, and listen it:
docker run --rm -d -v $(pwd):$(pwd) -w $(pwd) -p 11235:11235 \
--name radio-writer jrottenberg/ffmpeg:4.4-alpine \
-i http://radio.casse-tete.solutions/salut-radio-64.mp3 \
-filter_complex '[0:a]volume@vol=1,azmq=bind_address=tcp\\\://0.0.0.0\\\:11235[out]' \
-map '[out]' ./salut-radio.mp3
docker run -it -v $(pwd):$(pwd) -w $(pwd) --entrypoint=ffprobe jrottenberg/ffmpeg:4.4-alpine -v quiet -show_streams salut-radio.mp3
Now, just toggle its volume on-fly, and hear how it changes:
docker run --rm --network=host --entrypoint sh jrottenberg/ffmpeg:4.4-ubuntu -c \
'echo "volume@vol volume 2" | zmqsend -b tcp://127.0.0.1:11235'
Send a stream over SRT
Let's send video.mp4
to srt-listener on port 9000 over SRT protocol.
docker run -v $(pwd):$(pwd) jrottenberg/ffmpeg:4.4-centos \
-re -i $(pwd)/video.mp4 -acodec copy -vcodec copy -f mpegts srt://srt-listener:9000?pkt_size=1316
Use hardware acceleration enabled build
Thanks to qmfrederik for the vaapi ubuntu based variant
jrottenberg/ffmpeg:vaapi or jrottenberg/ffmpeg:${VERSION}-vaapi
- Run the container with the device attached /dev/dri from your host into the container :
docker run --device /dev/dri:/dev/dri -v $(pwd):$(pwd) -w $(pwd) jrottenberg/ffmpeg:4.4-vaapi [...]
- Have the Intel drivers up and running on your host. You can run
vainfo
(part of vainfo package on Ubuntu) to determine whether your graphics card has been recognized correctly. - Run ffmpeg with the correct parameters, this is the same as when running ffmpeg natively.
Use nvidia hardware acceleration enabled build
Thanks to ShaulMyplay for the nvidia based variant
Supports nvenc only on all ffmpeg versions, and hardware decoding and scaling on ffmpeg >= 4.0
- Install nvidia latest drivers on host machine.
- Install nvidia-docker on host machine.
- Run container using "--runtime=nvidia" flag and use supported ffmpeg hwaccel options
Hardware encoding only example:
docker run --runtime=nvidia jrottenberg/ffmpeg:4.4-nvidia -i INPUT -c:v nvenc_h264 -preset hq OUTPUT
Full hardware acceleration example:
docker run --runtime=nvidia jrottenberg/ffmpeg:4.4-nvidia -hwaccel cuvid -c:v h264_cuvid -i INPUT -vf scale_npp=-1:720 -c:v h264_nvenc -preset slow OUTPUT
See what's inside the beast
docker run -it --entrypoint='bash' jrottenberg/ffmpeg:4.4-ubuntu
