    libav is a part of FFmpeg, and the heart of it. But FFmpeg isn't just a skeleton. Most decoders + protocols + demuxers / muxsers + filters + scaler + resampler are native component…

    API/ABI is meant to be preserved within a major version, but not across. The deprecation period is typically two years, but deletion is usually much later. Do you have examples to …

    For a few years, the default aac coder has been fast. But the twoloop coder is better but slower, and was made default in May 2021. Add `-aac_coder twoloop` (in older builds) and r…

    Think of ffmpeg as a universal translator. There are 100s of languages in use around the world, with their own syntax, vocabulary, writing system, formal and informal conventions .…

    For `-f h264`, `-bsf:v h264_mp4toannexb` is not needed. It will be automatically inserted as needed, with ffmpeg 4.0 or later. For latency, specify a short GOP size, e.g. `-g 50`

    Don't think that's the main reason. Hollywood has no compunction or lack of skill to embellish or dramatize a mundane life if they need to. I suspect Bach's place at the top is rec…

    It hasn't, since ffmpeg's inception. It's very unlikely - it would require that ffmpeg verify codec compatibility with the output muxer. Not all muxers have registered a codec tags…
