Get the Sources

You can retrieve the source code through Git by using the command:

On the three machines I just checked none had a /Library/Caches folder over.75 Gb so I'd go right ahead and remove some of it.Don't worry about age, I'd worry about size.In the terminal run the following to sort all of the files in that directory by size (ascending): du -s /Library/Caches/. Doing it with the System fully up can be a little dangerous. User library takes up 100gb mac. sort -hOf course the best way to clear the caches is to install and do it with that in single user mode. This folder can run quite large just because so many apps cache something in there.If the cache /Library/Caches folder is over 3Gb then you have something that is caching quite a lot.

FFmpeg has always been a very experimental and developer-driven project. It is a key component in many multimedia projects and has new features added constantly. Development branch snapshots work really well 99% of the time so people are not afraid to use them.

Git Repositories

Since FFmpeg is developed with Git, multiple repositories from developers and groups of developers are available.

Releases

Approximately every 6 months the FFmpeg project makes a new major release. Between major releases point releases will appear that add important bug fixes but no new features. Note that these releases are intended for distributors and system integrators. Users that wish to compile from source themselves are strongly encouraged to consider using the development branch (see above), this is the only version on which FFmpeg developers actively work. The release branches only cherry pick selected changes from the development branch, which therefore receives much more and much faster bug fixes such as additional features and security patches.
