Joger, Thanks for your reply.
It seems that I have failed this little detail: -DQT_DEPLOY_FFMPEG=ON Also, is it possible to statically link ffmpeg to Qt? Or will we always need to have the dlls somewhere? One thing that I still couldn’t figure out is what are the main advantages of using ffmpeg as backend compared with the native backends? Thank you!
