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).

Very professional looking program that does just about what i expected

  • Very simple installation process
  • Open Source no licensing fees!
Cons
  • Sometimes crashes while using certain functions
