Avidemux Forum

What do I need to do to add codecs (AV1, AV2, H266) as output options when building Avidemux from source on MacOS?

That's if AV2 and H266 can be added. AV1 apparently can be according to other forum threads.

Regarding AV2, as long as it is not supported in an official libaom (or libavcodec) release – and even codec specs seem to be not fully finalized – there won't be support downstream in Avidemux.

VVC / H.266 encoding support should be feasible via vvenc library, not yet started. Upgrading bundled FFmpeg to 7.1 or later to add VVC decoding support should be the first step.
