FFmpeg Media Processing

FFmpeg is a powerful, free, open-source multimedia toolkit for transcoding, filtering, and analyzing video and audio. It supports 100+ formats and codecs. You can convert an MP4 to WebM, extract audio from video, blur faces, generate thumbnails, detect scene changes, adjust color, and thousands of other operations. FFmpeg is available as a command-line tool (for scripting and batch processing) and as libraries (libavcodec, libavformat, libavfilter) for integration into applications. It's used by Netflix, YouTube, Facebook, and most video platforms at scale.
