FFmpeg is the leading multimedia framework, able to decode, encode, transcode, mux, demux, stream, filter and play pretty much anything that humans and machines have created.

It supports the most obscure ancient formats up to the cutting edge. No matter if they were designed by some standards committee, the community, or a corporation.

It is also highly portable: The software compiles, runs, and passes testing infrastructure FATE across Linux, macOS, Microsoft Windows, the BSDs, Solaris, etc. under a wide variety of build environments, machine architectures, and configurations.

It contains libavcodec, libavutil, libavformat, libavfilter, libavdevice, libswscale, and libswresample which can be used by applications.

As well as ffmpeg, ffserver, ffplay, and ffprobe which can be used by end-users for transcoding, streaming, and playing.
