How important is a filter in ffplay

Just wanted to know whether the filters used in ffplay are really important or can I just disable the CONFIG_AV_FILTER and use it?

Als开发者_如何转开发o wanted to know the significance of the CONFIG_AV_FILTER.

Filters are only significant if you plan on using them. Have a look at what the filters do and then decide for yourself.

If all you do is just watch videos with ffplay then it's likely you won't need them. If you use ffmpeg for things like analog to digital conversion, re-encoding of videos then it's likely you will need them.
