How do I properly format a request for ffmpeg to decode using a particular codec?
7,721
The problem is that my version of ffmpeg was not compiled with r3d support, so while it did appear under
ffmpeg -formats
it did not appear under
ffmpeg -decoders

r3d is listed as a supported codec for decoding, however when I attempt to specify the r3d decoder, I get the error message "Unknown decoder". What is the correct manner of specifying a decoder codec?

Kaliatech about 11 yearsMake sure r3d is a supported decoded in your specific build of ffmpeg using
ffmpeg -decoders
. Also, googling shows there have been issues with decoding more recent versions of the R3D format. Example: cinematography.com/index.php?showtopic=53575

timonsku over 9 yearsIts not a codec its a format. Its a container that uses JPEG2000 encoded frames and pcm audio.
