We're all thinking it, but holy cow is FFmpeg one of the craziest pieces of software I have on my computer. The amount of neat things I've been able to do with it and toss them into a bash loop and go to bed is incredible. I'm sure a lot of us get a kick out of automating our tasks, and FFmpeg is king when it comes to that.

Shameless plug:<p>While working with ffmpeg over the years, i always thought that FFmpeg should have a simple to use UI.
I have recently started working on a desktop(electron) tool that wraps ffmpeg script in easy to use interface<p>Here is a video showing the tool in action

I'm a voracious audiobook consumer and get my books in all forms and shapes. At some point, I got tired of organizing them and decided to put them in my Calibre library, re-encoding each book first into a single file preferably with chapter information. To my surprise, existing tools were quite cumbersome, so I put together a small nodejs CLI[1] that uses ffmpeg for encoding. It was hacked together in few hours, but has saved me a ton of time since.<p>[1] <a href="https://github.com/zandaqo/ctfb" rel="nofollow">https://github.com/zandaqo/ctfb</a>
Sadly, HDR passthrough is still an open issue from 3 years ago:<p><a href="https://trac.ffmpeg.org/ticket/7037" rel="nofollow">https://trac.ffmpeg.org/ticket/7037</a><p>I really hoped they could complete this behemoth of a task.

I hope I can ask this question here.
Is it possible to create a text file of timestamps (from ts -> to ts) in as many lines as possible and have this file in same directory as a video file. Any video player should read this file (just like subtitles) and skip the sections listed in the file. I hope to distribute this file as a form of editing without modifying original video file.
Huge thank you to FFmpeg -- it's the core of my app's functionality: extract screenshots and show them to users in a neat gallery. Specifically - it can with 1 command line argument grab a dozen or two (user choice) screenshots at even intervals (my choice) and stitch them together into one long horizontal jpg file (adding black bars if ratio isn't what I want).

on my Mac I ran Brew Upgrade ffmpeg and now the current version is 4.3.2_3 -> 4.3.2_4 ... so still not 4.4...<p>Do I need to wait on the Brew people to upgrade or did I make a mistake?<p>Also, I have no idea which codecs are native encoding and decoding on a M1 chip but I hope h.265 is included
