I've noticed FFmpeg 7+ releases are unstable, constantly crashing with out of memory exceptions and failing to convert some image formats. As a workaround, use 6.1.1 release, which proven to be quite stable.
Example on installing specific release with scoop on Windows:
- Create following JSON file:
{
"version": "6.1.1",
"description": "A complete, cross-platform solution to record, convert and stream audio and video.",
"homepage": "https://ffmpeg.org",
"license": "GPL-3.0-or-later",
"architecture": {
"64bit": {
"url": "https://github.com/GyanD/codexffmpeg/releases/download/6.1.1/ffmpeg-6.1.1-full_build.zip",
"hash": "3537631e7e6261987ba01053d52198aeb020f29619f7d8e3e453048b7146b442",
"extract_dir": "ffmpeg-6.1.1-full_build"
}
},
"bin": [
"bin\\ffmpeg.exe",
"bin\\ffplay.exe",
"bin\\ffprobe.exe"
]
}
- Run
scoop install {path to the file}\ffmpeg-6.1.1.json
