I came across a set-top box that I suspected used ffmpeg for transcoding, because I recognized some artifacts I saw when I used ffmpeg's defaults for some settings.

Looked through their copyright notices and it turns out they were using ffmpeg. It's really everywhere.

The creator of ffmpeg, Fabrice Bellard, has an impressively long list of projects. Very talented developer! https://bellard.org/

Some speculate that Fabrice Bellard is actually as many as ten different people.

That would still be ten very prolific people.
