FFmpeg is a free, open-source command-line software suite for recording, converting, and streaming audio and video in virtually any format. It provides libraries (like libavcodec) that underpin countless media applications, and is used by developers, video editors, and system administrators for tasks like transcoding, trimming clips, extracting audio, adding subtitles, and compressing video files. It has been actively maintained by an open-source community since 2000 and is considered an essential tool in media processing pipelines.
