FFmpeg is a complete solution to record, convert and stream audio and video. It includes libavcodec, the leading audio/video codec library. You can enable a lot of optional (not-autodetected) features by passing variables to the script (VAR=yes/no ./ffmpeg.SlackBuild): AMRNB=yes|no (default: no), requires amrnb (creates non-redistributable binary) AMRWB=yes|no (default: no), requires amrwb (creates non-redistributable binary) DC1394=yes|no (default: no), requires libdc1394 DIRAC=yes|no (default: no), requires dirac FAAC=yes|no (default: yes), requires faac (creates non-redistributable binary) FAAD=yes|no (default: yes), requires faad2 JP2=yes|no (default: no), requires openjpeg LAME=yes|no (default: yes), requires lame OPENCORE=yes|no (default: no), requires opencore-amr SCHROEDINGER=yes|no (default: no), requires schroedinger SPEEX=yes|no (default: no), requires speex VDPAU=yes|no (default: no), requires libvdpau and vdpau capable gpu X264=yes|no (default: yes), requires x264 XVID=yes|no (default: no), requires xvidcore ffmpeg is built with runtime cpu detection by default, which might have a quite big impact on performance. You can turn it off by passing RUNTIME=no to the script, but this creates a non-portable binary. All of the mentioned requirements are available from SlackBuilds.org
