Nice. browsers have supported this for a long time, and it was annoying ffmpeg did not, because that meant a lot of non-browser desktop apps couldn't view them either.

Oh, wonder what fancy new things this will enable. Any examples in the wild already perhaps?

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

I recommend watching the Lex Fridman interview with Jean-Baptiste Kempf and Kieran Kunhya. Amazing work on and amazing project.
meerita•11m ago
It's a really good interview. I recommend it too.
sparkling•13m ago
Not a Lex Friedman fan, but I highly recommend the recent podcast he did with two leading engineers (and founder) from the ffmpeg project: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=nepKKz-MzFM

In a world full of endless AI slop, it is refreshing to see that there are still folks out there hand-rolling assembler code to squeeze out another 5% efficiency.
