FFMPEG for Docker on Centos7

This project prepares a minimalist Docker image with FFMPEG. It compiles FFMPEG from sources following instructions from the Centos Compilation Guide.

You can install the latest build of this image by running docker pull jrottenberg/ffmpeg.

This image can be used as a base for an encoding farm, based on centos7.

Ubuntu builds

You can use jrottenberg/ffmpeg:ubuntu or jrottenberg/ffmpeg:3.1-ubuntu to get the latest build based on ubuntu.

Note : I'll make ubuntu the default after 3.1 ie you'll find centos based image using jrottenberg/ffmpeg:3.x-centos
