+@chapter Decoders

+@c man begin DECODERS

+

+Decoders are configured elements in FFmpeg which allow the decoding of

+multimedia streams.

+

+When you configure your FFmpeg build, all the supported native decoders

+are enabled by default. Decoders requiring an external library must be enabled

+manually via the corresponding @code{--enable-lib} option. You can list all

+available decoders using the configure option @code{--list-decoders}.

+

+You can disable all the decoders with the configure option

+@code{--disable-decoders} and selectively enable / disable single decoders

+with the options @code{--enable-decoder=@var{DECODER}} /

+@code{--disable-decoder=@var{DECODER}}.

+

+The option @code{-codecs} of the ff* tools will display the list of

+enabled decoders.

+

+A description of some of the currently available decoders follows.
