Thanks for your response, I have tried using chatgpt assistance, but it didn't work.

@df-a thank you for the write up, super helpful!

One nit I would add:

git clone https://git.ffmpeg.org/ffmpeg.git ffmpeg

to

git clone --depth 1 https://git.ffmpeg.org/ffmpeg.git ffmpeg

to reduce downloaded artifacts from ~180mb to ~17mb

And I also had to update the .configure command to:

./configure  --prefix=/usr/local --enable-gpl --enable-nonfree --enable-libass --enable-libfdk-aac --enable-libfreetype --enable-libmp3lame --enable-libtheora --enable-libvorbis --enable-libvpx --enable-libx264 --enable-libx265 --enable-libopus --enable-libxvid --enable-chromaprint --enable-libopenjpeg --enable-libaom --extra-ldflags=-L/opt/homebrew/lib --samples=fate-suite/ --extra-cflags=-I/opt/homebrew/include

To use homebrewed lame and other requirements. Otherwise I kept getting ERROR: libmp3lame >= 3.98.3 not found errors

Unfortunately all of this is not valid anymore and you'll need to follow these steps if you just want all options, even ones that you will never use !

brew tap homebrew-ffmpeg/ffmpeg
brew install amiaopensource/amiaos/decklinksdk
brew tap lescanauxdiscrets/tap
brew install lescanauxdiscrets/tap/zvbi
brew install homebrew-ffmpeg/ffmpeg/ffmpeg $(brew options homebrew-ffmpeg/ffmpeg/ffmpeg | grep -vE '\s' | grep -- '--with-' | grep -vi libflite | tr '\n' ' ')`

The only lib I could not install was libflite :

Flite is a small fast run-time speech synthesis engine. It is the latest addition to the suite of free software synthesis tools including University of Edinburgh's Festival Speech Synthesis System and Carnegie Mellon University's FestVox project, tools, scripts and documentation for building synthetic voices. However, flite itself does not require either of these systems to run.

I guess, it will be next time !

Most of this operation can be found here: https://gist.github.com/Debdut/27a9b62a8f68534d39ae0c5d38591331?permalink_comment_id=5086936#gistcomment-5086936

I don't think any of this works anymore.

I believe you need to install chromaprint first and use -- enable-chromaprint but it's also been quite a while since I installed

Yeah, same here, I first install Homebrew’s chromaprint without it’s ffmpeg dependency with:
brew install --ignore-dependencies chromaprint
then, build ffmpeg with the --with-chromaprint option.
