However, due to the eccentricities of Windows’ calling conventions, 32-bit GCC builds of AviSynth+ are not compatible with typical 32-bit builds of FFmpeg. </p> <p>By default, FFmpeg assumes compatibility with 32-bit MSVC builds of AviSynth+ since that is the most widely-used and entrenched build configuration.

Once libcodec2 is installed you can pass <code>--enable-libcodec2</code> to configure to enable it. </p> <p>The easiest way to use codec2 is with .c2 files, since they contain the mode information required for decoding. To encode such a file, use a .c2 file extension and give the libcodec2 encoder the -mode option: <code>ffmpeg -i input.wav -mode 700C output.c2</code>. Playback is as simple as <code>ffplay output.c2</code>. For a list of supported modes, run <code>ffmpeg -h encoder=libcodec2</code>. Raw codec2 files are also supported.
