FFMPEG¶

FFMPEG stands for Fast Forward Moving Picture Experts Group. It is a free and open source software project that offers many tools for video and audio processing. With FFMPEG, you can decode, encode, transcode, mux, demux, stream, filter and play most types of video and audio.

At its core is the command-line ffmpeg tool itself, designed for processing of video and audio files. It is widely used for format transcoding, basic editing (trimming and concatenation), video scaling, video post-production effects and standards compliance (SMPTE, ITU).
