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?

I'm curious if they used LLMs to do the tedious work of porting the (de/en)coders to different architectures, and how useful they are here.

Sometimes the world carrying ancient god shift position in their on throne. These updates always feel like that.

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

I feel we’re blessed to have a project like FFmpeg. This open source tool is so important for everyone.

I recommend watching the Lex Fridman interview with Jean-Baptiste Kempf and Kieran Kunhya. Amazing work on and amazing project.
meerita•24m ago
It's a really good interview. I recommend it too.
sparkling•26m 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.

Finally, some real fucking technology.
