What this page is for
QORA plays audio in the formats AC-3, E-AC-3 and DTS with a self-built version of the FFmpeg library. FFmpeg is licensed under the GNU Lesser General Public License (LGPL), version 2.1 or later. We built it without any GPL components: the configuration contains neither --enable-gpl nor --enable-nonfree. Here you will find the matching source code and the scripts used to build the library.
