@chapter External libraries
Libav can be hooked up with a number of external libraries to add support
for more formats. None of them are used by default, their use has to be
explicitly requested by passing the appropriate flags to @file{./configure}.
@section OpenCORE AMR
@section OpenCORE and VisualOn libraries
Spun off Google Android sources, OpenCore and VisualOn libraries provide
encoders for a number of audio codecs.
@float NOTE
OpenCORE and VisualOn libraries are under the Apache License 2.0
(see @url{http://www.apache.org/licenses/LICENSE-2.0} for details), which is
incompatible with the LGPL version 2.1 and GPL version 2. You have to
upgrade Libav's license to LGPL version 3 (or if you have enabled
GPL components, GPL version 3) to use it.

@subsection OpenCORE AMR
Libav can make use of the OpenCORE libraries for AMR-NB
decoding/encoding and AMR-WB decoding.
Go to @url{http://sourceforge.net/projects/opencore-amr/} and follow the instructions for
installing the libraries. Then pass @code{--enable-libopencore-amrnb} and/or
@code{--enable-libopencore-amrwb} to configure to enable the libraries.
Go to @url{http://sourceforge.net/projects/opencore-amr/} and follow the
instructions for installing the libraries.
Then pass @code{--enable-libopencore-amrnb} and/or
@code{--enable-libopencore-amrwb} to configure to enable them.
@subsection VisualOn AAC encoder library
Libav can make use of the VisualOn AACenc library for AAC encoding.
Go to @url{http://sourceforge.net/projects/opencore-amr/} and follow the
instructions for installing the library.
Then pass @code{--enable-libvo-aacenc} to configure to enable it.
@subsection VisualOn AMR-WB encoder library
Libav can make use of the VisualOn AMR-WBenc library for AMR-WB encoding.
Go to @url{http://sourceforge.net/projects/opencore-amr/} and follow the
instructions for installing the library.
Then pass @code{--enable-libvo-amrwbenc} to configure to enable it.
@section LAME
Libav can make use of the LAME library for MP3 encoding.
Go to @url{http://lame.sourceforge.net/} and follow the
instructions for installing the library.
Then pass @code{--enable-libmp3lame} to configure to enable it.
@section libvpx
Libav can make use of the libvpx library for VP8 encoding.
Go to @url{http://www.webmproject.org/} and follow the instructions for
installing the library. Then pass @code{--enable-libvpx} to configure to
enable it.
@section x264
Libav can make use of the x264 library for H.264 encoding.
Go to @url{http://www.videolan.org/developers/x264.html} and follow the
instructions for installing the library. Then pass @code{--enable-libx264} to
configure to enable it.
