-Bring your own FFmpeg
----------------------
-
-PyAV can also be compiled against your own build of FFmpeg (version ``7.0`` or higher). You can force installing PyAV from source by running:
-
-.. code-block:: bash
-
-    pip install av --no-binary av
-
-PyAV depends upon several libraries from FFmpeg:
-
-- ``libavcodec``
-- ``libavdevice``
-- ``libavfilter``
-- ``libavformat``
-- ``libavutil``
-- ``libswresample``
-- ``libswscale``
-
-and a few other tools in general:
-
-- ``pkg-config``
-- Python's development headers
-
-
-MacOS
-^^^^^
-
-On **MacOS**, Homebrew_ saves the day::
-
-    brew install ffmpeg pkg-config
-
-.. _homebrew: http://brew.sh/
-
-
-Ubuntu >= 18.04 LTS
-^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^
-
-On **Ubuntu 18.04 LTS** everything can come from the default sources::
-
-    # General dependencies
-    sudo apt-get install -y python-dev pkg-config
-
-    # Library components
-    sudo apt-get install -y \
-        libavformat-dev libavcodec-dev libavdevice-dev \
-        libavutil-dev libswscale-dev libswresample-dev libavfilter-dev
-
-
-Windows
-^^^^^^^
-
-It is possible to build PyAV on Windows without Conda by installing FFmpeg yourself, e.g. from the `shared and dev packages <https://ffmpeg.zeranoe.com/builds/>`_.
-
-Unpack them somewhere (like ``C:\ffmpeg``), and then :ref:`tell PyAV where they are located <build_on_windows>`.
