  • Seems Michael Niedermayer wrote that manually, without AI. Good for him. :P

    ffmpeg is great, I think nobody disputes this. I use it in two ways mostly:

    1) one, via mpv, and 2) two, as conversion tool primarily

    ffmpeg also has many really powerful filters, but these are very confusing to use IMO and not elegant at all. I'd wish we could use some kind of simple meta-language or so, in part similar to virtualdub/avisynth (not necessarily suggesting the same API or DSL here, but just the main idea to think of multimedia data as tangible to manipulation as if it were an object oriented system or datastream system; every time I have to use ffmpeg's filter system, I ask myself if nobody designs any of this ...).

  • I still hope a future FFmpeg release will make Intel QSV encoding available on Windows laptops where the manufacturer disabled this capability from the ACPI tables. The only way to use it on these laptops is currently FFmpeg on Linux.

  • Watching ffmpeg go from a niche tool for web back ends to what it is now has been incredible.

  • One of my favorite pieces of software. FFmpeg has done so much for my career. Happy to see it still going strong.

  • For those interested in the work being done, with a bit more details that just the Changelog, I wrote a longer blogpost about the work here: https://jbkempf.com/blog/2026/ffmpeg-9.0/

    More details about the ongoing work on Swscale rewrite, on the various Vulkan changes, the assembly detailed and a bit of statistics about this release.
