<p>iLBC is a narrowband speech codec that has been made freely available
by Google as part of the WebRTC project. libilbc is a packaging friendly
copy of the iLBC codec. FFmpeg can make use of the libilbc library for
iLBC encoding and decoding.

<p>FFmpeg can read AviSynth scripts as input. To enable support, pass
<code>--enable-avisynth</code> to configure. The correct headers are
included in compat/avisynth/, which allows the user to enable support
without needing to search for these headers themselves.
</p>
<p>For Windows, supported AviSynth variants are
<a href="http://avisynth.nl">AviSynth 2.6 RC1 or higher</a> for 32-bit builds and
<a href="http://avs-plus.net">AviSynth+ r1718 or higher</a> for 32-bit and 64-bit builds.
</p>
<p>For Linux and OS X, the supported AviSynth variant is
<a href="https://github.com/avxsynth/avxsynth">AvxSynth</a>.
</p>
<div class="info">
<p>AviSynth and AvxSynth are loaded dynamically. Distributors can build FFmpeg
with <code>--enable-avisynth</code>, and the binaries will work regardless of the
end user having AviSynth or AvxSynth installed - they’ll only need to be
installed to use AviSynth scripts (obviously).

<p>FFmpeg can use Intel QuickSync Video (QSV) for accelerated encoding and decoding
of multiple codecs. To use QSV, FFmpeg must be linked against the <code>libmfx</code>
dispatcher, which loads the actual decoding libraries.
</p>
<p>The dispatcher is open source and can be downloaded from
<a href="https://github.com/lu-zero/mfx_dispatch.git">https://github.com/lu-zero/mfx_dispatch.git</a>. FFmpeg needs to be configured
with the <code>--enable-libmfx</code> option and <code>pkg-config</code> needs to be able to
locate the dispatcher’s <code>.pc</code> files.
