ffmpeg/ffmpeg is a collection of libraries and tools that handle audio, video, subtitles and related metadata. The GitHub repository is a mirror of FFmpeg hosted at git.ffmpeg.org, and the repository language is recorded as C. Multimedia can be analyzed, converted and streamed with the command-line tools and filters. The provided information records no new release or version, so the changes in any specific version cannot be described.
The project provides features for handling media in many formats, as both tools and libraries. A codec is a way of encoding or decoding media data, and a container is a format that holds data such as video and audio in a single file. FFmpeg includes codecs, streaming protocols, containers, filters, device access, and audio and video conversion. The tools that come with it are ffmpeg, ffplay, ffprobe and aviocat. The repository also provides offline documentation, coding examples, and guidance on the license and the contribution process.
However, the provided record does not list the latest release, so the currently distributed version and its change history cannot be confirmed. The license field is also shown as NOASSERTION, so the terms of use cannot be settled from this record alone. Therefore, when adopting or distributing a specific version, the changes in that version and the license terms that apply have to be checked separately.
