FFmpeg
FFmpeg is an open-source multimedia framework for converting, processing and streaming audio and video.
FFmpeg is an open-source project started in 2000. It consists of the ffmpeg command-line tool and a set of libraries for handling codecs and container formats. Because it can read and write a very wide range of audio and video formats, it is widely used for format conversion, trimming, joining and compression.
Many video applications and services use FFmpeg's libraries as their internal processing engine. Since it runs from the command line, scripts and AI agents often rely on it to automate media processing.
