Review on FFmpeg by Gene Rosado

Revainrating 5 out of 5

Great open source multimedia converter

It's simple for use with any programming language like C/C++ or Python. The documentation is really good as well! I've used it in many projects over my career so far without having problems at all. We're using ffmpgextract tool which gives us access to various metadata from videos such as title, artist etc. This helps when we need them later down the line while processing other media files (e.g., images). FFmpeg is very easy to use, it is not very easy to use for a newbie. I recommend getting some basic knowledge of terminal commands and the ffmpeg syntax. I use ffmpeg to convert videos and audio files, I use it to convert videos from one format to another and I use it to encode videos with different audio tracks. I use it to broadcast live video streams.

Pros
  • Very fast.
  • Excellent support
  • Easy integration into most languages / platforms that can run executables via command lines including Windows & Linux operating systems both 32 bit&64 bits versions,
  • Documentation available online too if you have questions about its usage
