About media-autobuildsuite
media-autobuild_suite is a Windows batch script that sets up a MinGW-w64 compiler environment for building FFmpeg and other media tools. It can build FFmpeg as shared or static and offers Light, Zeranoe-emulating, and Full configurations with many optional libraries and features.
Use is subject to license and platform restrictions, and some components require additional software such as the CUDA SDK, Java JDK, Avisynth DLL, or Apple runtime DLLs. Most git sources used by the suite are hosted on GitHub, so it has limited use when GitHub is unavailable.
