We are using FFMPEG to convert iPhone video to MP4. This requires an AAC decoder which is not included in any binary distributions of FFMPEG (due to licensing issues). The solution is to download the FFMPEG source and compile it yourself. I've done this, apparently incorrectly, as I cannot decode the audio stream. I am getting this error:

I suspect that I failed to compile and include the correct codec library when I built FFMPEG. The problem is I don't know which library I should have built/included. I haven't found anything that says to decode QDMC audio in FFMPEG you need the XXXXX library.

Here's the complete list of decoders that my build supports:

Any idea what I did wrong when building FFMPEG?

Here's a link to the video file that caused the problem: step-2.mov

@LordNeckbeard Yes, I felt that I was on the border between the two sites. There are a lot of Q&A here on the subject and I think my problem is related to my build of FFMPEG from the source, which I think puts the question in SO.mbmast
@LordNeckbeard I added the video file that illustrates my problem. It's 825K.mbmast
You need to build with AudioToolbox enabled. This implies QDMC is only supported on macOS/iOS. (How I know this: the only place AV_CODEC_ID_QDMC is supported in libavcodec is in audiotoolboxdec.c)Cornstalks
@Cornstalks I recompiled ffmpeg with this configuration: ./configure --prefix="$HOME/ffmpeg_build" --extra-cflags="-I$HOME/ffmpeg_build/include" --extra-ldflags="-L$HOME/ffmpeg_build/lib" --bindir="$HOME/bin" --pkg-config-flags="--static" --enable-gpl --enable-nonfree --enable-audiotoolbox --enable-libfdk-aac --enable-libfreetype --enable-libx264 and then tried again and got the same error. Enabling Audio Toolbox did not appear to resolve my problem.mbmast
AudioToolbox isn't included in FFmpeg. FFmpeg just makes API calls to AudioToolbox, just like it does with any other third party library. FFmpeg doesn't enable its usage of AudioToolbox if the configure test fails (the very test we talked about earlier). To put it frankly: FFmpeg can't transcode QDMC on a non-Apple OS. You might be able to transmux (from one container format to another, e.g. Matroska to MP4), but you won't be able to transcode (from one audio codec to another, e.g. QDMC to AAC).Cornstalks

FFmpeg version 3.3 and above

QDMC is supported by both AudioToolbox (Apple OSes only) and FFmpeg's native QDMC decoder.

To use FFmpeg's native QDMC decoder, use decoder strings qdmc (or qdm2 for version 2) (e.g., -c:a qdmc).

To use the AudioToolbox QDMC decoder, use decoder strings qdmc_at (or qdm2_at for version 2) (e.g., -c:a qdmc_at).

Go give Mulvya a +1 for pointing out the new QDMC decoder that Paul B Mahol added to FFmpeg.


FFmpeg version 3.2.x and below

FFmpeg supports decoding QDMC, but only through the third party framework named AudioToolbox. AudioToolbox is created by Apple and is only available on Apple operating systems (iOS, macOS, and tvOS).

This means that you can't decode QDMC using FFmpeg, since you're using CentOS.

A native QDMC decoder was added to FFmpeg on 7th Jan 2017. With that, you should be able to decode on any platform.
