LAME MP3 Encoder for Mac OS is a free MP3 encoder which is compatible with Mac OS X 10.3.9 or later.

However, one down side to FFmpeg is that it’s flexible nature can make it tricky to install. Thankfully it has gotten easier though the simpler installation methods aren’t well published. A friend emailed over the weekend asking how to install it on a Mac. I promised a blog post in our community that might help him or others dealing with media.

Using Homebrew

- Install Homebrew with the following command:
- Install FFmpeg. The command will be “brew install ffmpeg –ANY-OPTIONS-YOU-WANT”.
A couple quick notes. You might be asking “what’s the difference between Homebrew and MacPorts?” Well, they basically do the same thing. Homebrew is a little easier to use, MacPorts is a little more complicated but powerful (though many would argue the point). In truth I have just had a little easier time with MacPorts while I seem to have to wrestle a little more with Homebrew. For instance, in this article I actually had some bugs with Homebrew I had to fight. Conversely, the FFMPEG Project actually documents and supports Homebrew.
