FFmpeg doesn't work on Apple Silicon Macs #718

Closed Alvarez81 closed 2 years ago

FFmpeg doesn't work on Apple Silicon Macs. Rosetta 2 is not a stable and "good" solution. Is there any other way to record video in VirtualC64 without FFmpeg ?

Is there an easy solution ? Homebrew software is really native ? Where will be located compiled software ? Could it be added to VirtualC64 code ?

dirkwhoffmann commented 2 years ago

Homebrew is the easy solution, I use it all the time. In fact, I've installed ffmpeg with Homebrew, too.

KinaKai commented 2 years ago

On a fresh install of Homebrew on Apple Silicon systems, Homebrew will install into /opt/homebrew, which breaks the hardcoded assumption that ffmpeg will be found in /usr/local. You can workaround around this by just doing a symlink: sudo ln -s /opt/homebrew/bin/ffmpeg /usr/local/bin/ffmpeg.

A permanent fix could be to expose the location of ffmpeg as user-definable setting.

Thanks a lot for posting a workaround!

Yes, this should be done. It's already on my To-Do list for vAmiga (which unfortunately consumes all my spare time at the moment).

Code from vAmiga has been ported.
