# This script will download all of the appropriate and necessary components required to
# install FFMPEG on Ubuntu 14.04 and above. This uses checkinstall instead of the normal
# make install to generate a .deb so ffmpeg and the x265 library can be managed by the package manager.

# When passed the nvenc parameter, it will attempt to compile ffmpeg with the nvenc and nvenc_h265 encoders which use
# nvidia GPUs for encoding rather than CPU. Check https://developer.nvidia.com/nvidia-video-codec-sdk for more information.
