Thank you for the response.

I am trying to clone from GitHub(https://git.ffmpeg.org/ffmpeg.git) the same source code that can be found in https://ffmpeg.org/releases/ffmpeg-4.4.1.tar.bz2. What branch in https://git.ffmpeg.org/ffmpeg.git contains the same 4.4.1 source code as in https://ffmpeg.org/releases/ffmpeg-4.4.1.tar.bz2 When I checkout release/4.4 the source code from GitHub is different from the source in https://ffmpeg.org/releases/ffmpeg-4.4.1.tar.bz2.

Releases correspond to tags, not branches. You want to check out tag "n4.4.1". Well, "want". Why do you want the exact same source code? (The 4.4 branch is for developing what becomes 4.4.2, 4.4.3, ...)

Thank you. So just talking about the patch now… Which branch should I be in to add my patch? I assume that is release/4.4? Here are the branches I see. git branch -r   master origin/HEAD -> origin/master origin/master origin/oldabi origin/release/0.10 origin/release/0.11 origin/release/0.5 origin/release/0.6 origin/release/0.7 origin/release/0.8 origin/release/0.9 origin/release/1.0 origin/release/1.1 origin/release/1.2 origin/release/2.0 origin/release/2.1 origin/release/2.2 origin/release/2.3 origin/release/2.4 origin/release/2.5 origin/release/2.6 origin/release/2.7 origin/release/2.8 origin/release/3.0 origin/release/3.1 origin/release/3.2 origin/release/3.3 origin/release/3.4 origin/release/4.0 origin/release/4.1 origin/release/4.2 origin/release/4.3 origin/release/4.4 From: ffmpeg-user <ffmpeg-user-bounces@ffmpeg.org> on behalf of Moritz Barsnick <barsnick@gmx.net> Date: Wednesday, December 15, 2021 at 12:00 PM To: FFmpeg user discussions <ffmpeg-user@ffmpeg.org> Subject: Re: [FFmpeg-user] [EXTERNAL] Re: GitHub and Releases On Wed, Dec 15, 2021 at 16:44:13 +0000, Bryce Newman wrote:

I don't see that this is likely to be merged (i.e. backported) into 4.4.2. New features only go into the development branch, which will then become 4.5 or whatever is next there.

so I need to compile against what is a known working version of ffmpeg and external libs used in https://github.com/jrottenberg/ffmpeg/blob/main/docker-images/4.4/ubuntu2004....

If ffmpeg 4.4.1 compiles againt those libs, so will ffmpeg git master HEAD. You can probably just replace https://ffmpeg.org/releases/ffmpeg-${FFMPEG_VERSION}.tar.bz2 with a link to the snapshot: https://ffmpeg.org/releases/ffmpeg-snapshot.tar.bz2 And even apply your patch right after unpacking this.

Ok. Perfect. This patch https://patchwork.ffmpeg.org/project/ffmpeg/patch/DM6PR08MB60732B5D77656C74C... was created using the master branch. Now to figure out why I get “Failed to apply patch.”. Apparently, something to do with the format I gather.

Any contributed patches should be developed against and apply to master: https://www.ffmpeg.org/developer.html Often, they also apply cleanly to older branches. Yet that is only of concern to you if you want to compile an older version with your patch. If a contributed patch is eventually merged, it can be backported to the old release branches, if it's considered a reasonable bug fix. This backporting is then usually done by the upstream developers.
