Note: FFmpeg cannot be installed on Shared or Reseller packages.

FFmpeg is not recommended for use on VPS accounts, as it can adversely affect normal server operation and potentially conflict with your VPS Terms of Service.

HostGator only offers installation services for FFmpeg on VPS containers that are Snappy 2000 (or greater) and Dedicated Servers running CentOS 6 64-bit or CentOS 7 64-bit.
 

How to Obtain FFmpeg

HostGator offers a manual installation of FFmpeg on VPS containers that are Snappy 2000 (or greater) and Linux Dedicated Servers for a fee of $75. This installation includes many features and modules that were not available in the free version.

FFmpeg is not compatible with our Windows Dedicated Servers.

To request a full installation of FFmpeg, please contact us via phone or chat. You will need to agree to the installation charge before we can process the request.

Note: The names of encoders and decoders do not always match, so there are several cases where the above table shows encoder only or decoder only entries even though both encoding and decoding are supported. For example, the h263 decoder corresponds to the h263 and h263p encoders, for file formats it is even worse.
