FFmpeg - A complete, cross-platform solution to record, convert and stream audio and video.
Supported Architectures
We utilise the docker manifest for multi-platform awareness. More information is available from docker here and our announcement here.
Simply pulling lscr.io/linuxserver/ffmpeg:latest
should retrieve the correct image for your arch, but you can also pull specific arch images via tags.
The architectures supported by this image are:
Architecture | Available | Tag |
---|---|---|
x86-64 | ✅ | amd64-<version tag> |
arm64 | ✅ | arm64v8-<version tag> |
armhf | ❌ | arm32v7-<version tag> |
Usage
Unlike most of our container library this image is meant to be run ephemerally from the command line parsing user input for a custom FFmpeg command. You will need to understand some Docker basics to use this image and be familiar with how to construct an FFmpeg command. In the commands below we will be bind mounting our current working directory from the CLI to /config, the assumption is that input.mkv is in your current working directory.
If an input file is detected we will run FFmpeg as that user/group so the output file will match its permissions. The image supports Hardware acceleration on x86 pay close attention to the variables for the examples below.
Included Intel Drivers (latest versions compiled):
- iHD Driver: Supports gen8+ (default for Intel)
- i965 Driver: Supports gen5+ (for gen5-gen9.5 it can be enabled by setting env var
LIBVA_DRIVER_NAME=i965
in docker arguments) - Libva (VAAPI): Supports gen5+ with i965 driver and gen8+ with iHD driver
- Qsv Dispatcher: OneVPL (supports both OneVPL and MSDK runtimes and should automatically switch)
- Qsv Runtime:
- OneVPL: Supports gen12+
- MSDK (libmfx): Supports gen8 - gen12

Nvidia Hardware accelerated (click for more info)
Nvidia support requires Nvidia container toolkit and the Nvidia drivers installed on the host
docker run --rm -it \

linuxserver/ffmpeg \
-hwaccel nvdec \
-i /config/input.mkv \
-c:v h264_nvenc \

Vulkan support
Vulkan support has been added to x86_64 (tested with Intel and AMD iGPU) (click for more info).
docker run --rm -it \
--device=/dev/dri:/dev/dri \
-v $(pwd):/config \
-e ANV_VIDEO_DECODE=1 \
linuxserver/ffmpeg \
-init_hw_device "vulkan=vk:0" \
-hwaccel vulkan \
-hwaccel_output_format vulkan \
-i /config/input.mkv \
-f null - -benchmark
Note: Vulkan supports three drivers:
- ANV: To enable for Intel, set the env var
ANV_VIDEO_DECODE=1
- RADV: To enable on AMD, set the env var
RADV_PERFTEST=video_decode
- NVIDIA: To enable on Nvidia, install Nvidia Vulkan Beta drivers on the host per this article
Building locally
If you want to make local modifications to these images for development purposes or just to customize the logic:
git clone https://github.com/linuxserver/docker-ffmpeg.git
cd docker-ffmpeg
docker build \
--no-cache \
--pull \
-t linuxserver/ffmpeg:latest .
The ARM variants can be built on x86_64 hardware using multiarch/qemu-user-static
docker run --rm --privileged multiarch/qemu-user-static:register --reset
Once registered you can define the dockerfile to use with -f Dockerfile.aarch64
.
