Let us know in the comments what you think, dont be shy.įFmpeg is the leading multimedia framework, able to decode, encode, transcode, mux, demux, stream, filter and play pretty much anything that humans and machines have created. FFmpeg still requires you to have some basic command-line knowledge but to be honest, its very simple and its quiet fun to use it. Now FFmpeg is still very popular especially if you are trying to edit/decode/encode and convert certain media files with ease. I was one of those users who tried FFmpeg way back in the days before even VLC was the go-to video player. This software has been around for awhile but it has mostly been used to convert videos and play videos, its popularity started off when a lot of Anime viewers/watchers needed a new player that was compatible with the latest video codecs and that is where FFmpeg came to the rescue, its mass collection of libraries allowed you to use ffplay(or whatever video player you wanted) and it worked. Today we will highlight some reasons why we think you should definitely try FFmpeg on your Linux OS. Hello everyone, you can now download FFmpeg for Ubuntu and try one of the most used and trusted multimedia framework that you can get.
