FFmpeg is a computer program that can record, convert and stream digital audio and video in numerous formats.FFmpeg is a command line tool that is composed of a collection of free software / open source libraries. It includes libavcodec, an audio/video codec library used by several other projects, and libavformat, an audio/video container mux and demux library. The name of the project comes from the MPEG video standards group, together with "FF" for "fast forward".The logo uses a zigzag pattern that shows how MPEG video codecs handle entropy encoding.
