I have used ffmpeg. It's a damn good project, and under current development and support. It also appears to be the only game in town. Many commercial offerings are really just veneers over custom ffmpeg implementations. Tuning it is also pretty crazy. Some folks can make entire careers out of just tuning ffmpeg. I think the biggest issue with video software (besides it being difficult and performance-intensive), is t…
There is also mencoder, which is derived from mplayer.

FFmpeg is infamous for absurdly complex command options. It's really too much for a "one-liner" CLI. When I use it, I just look for "pre-baked recipes" otherwise it's a really unpleasant rabbit hole to get into.
If you look at it as more of a "composable" interface (as the sibling poster suggested), it makes a lot more sense. No one is going to type out this one-liner from scratch, or have an easy time understanding what it means by reading it, but as it's made up of a series of smaller, more easily understood commands, in a shell or Python script it could be vastly more legible and, dare I say it, usable. This is also the r…
Challenge accepted! (No seriously, that's what I'm working on)
I wanted to create a slideshow a couple weeks ago and came across this article [0] on creating a Ken Burns Effect Slideshow. Very cool and is a great demo of some of ffmpeg's functionality. However, the final command is a little crazy: ffmpeg -i 1.jpg -i 2.jpg -i 3.jpg -filter_complex "color=c=black:r=60:size=1280x800:d=10[black];[0:v]format=pix_fmts=yuva420p,crop=w=2*floor(iw/2):h=2*floor(ih/2),zoompan=z='if(eq(on,1…

It almost seems like the best way to understand an ffmpeg complex filter graph is to actually draw a graph...

You can try Xfade filter, hope oneday I can write opengl glsl effect in ffmpeg.

What ever happened to Facebook's (or was it Netflix?) technology to create a new unit of time measurement to help align audio and video files? I believe it was called a "flick"...
Doesn't support NTSC. Better to force everyone to deal with irrational sampling rates than pretend they don't exist.

`ffmpeg` reminds me of `convert` from ImageMagick, it's complex because there's a lot of media formats and the command lets you do a lot things to the media as well. I liked using WinFF a time ago for simple conversion jobs though where I didn't care too much about tweaking all the knobs.
ImageMagick's convert is much friendlier than ffmpeg: convert image.png image.jpg Does what it's suppose to and it's as simple as possible. Sure, you can get really fancy with resizing proportions but easy stuff should be easy.
ffmpeg -i something.avi something.mp4

Now this sounds interesting - LEGO Racers ALP (.tun & .pcm) demuxer I think I will dig through to figure out what that actually means later.
ffmpeg can now extract data from the .tun & .pcm file formats (but it might not be able to decode it yet, depending on the encoding used in such files).

I actually made my own CLI frontend just because I didn't want to try and memorize ffmpeg options to do the simple things that I want to do most of the time. Now I can just do `--h264 -s X -e Y` to do a h.264 encode from X timecode to Y timecode.
Every couple of years worth of not using an option I need to look it up again. But it's usually not too hard.
