Windows applications must + therefore bundle FFmpeg binaries in their installer, and make them + visible to the application according to Windows dll loading rules. + We recommend to store the FFmpeg dlls in the same directory as the + application's executable file, because this guarantees that the + correct build of FFmpeg is being used if multiple versions are + available on the system. All necessary FFmpeg dlls are shipped with + the Qt Online Installer and are automatically deployed if the + windeployqt tool is used to create the deployment. Applications can + also deploy their own build of FFmpeg, as long as the FFmpeg major + version matches the version used by Qt. + \note See \l{Licenses and Attributions} regarding what components are removed in the package shipped by Qt. |
