"The Swiss Army Knife of Video"
What do you like best about FFmpeg?

FFmpeg is just about the best video manipulation tool that has ever been made. Having a command line tool that works across almost every platform is fantastic. Excellent options and there is almost nothing that you can not do with this tool, I use it all the time in conjunction with PHP, Perl, and Python to automate the most hideous repetitive video tasks. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

What do you dislike about FFmpeg?

There is a huge learning curve to use this tool and you have to know a command line environment. It is something that will never change because of the nature of the tool. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

"Great way to process video and audio"
What do you like best about FFmpeg?

FFmpeg gives so many options for processing video, even beyond your stated goal. That flexibility provides great options on the command line, and even when using as a container. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

What do you dislike about FFmpeg?

Some of the options you can invoke on the command line require specific ordering that isn't necessarily stated in the documentation, or isn't easy to access. This requires extra tinkering with little to go on as to what the error messages are. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

"Don't Fear the Command Line, FFmpeg Can Do It All"
What do you like best about FFmpeg?

I love the sheer power of FFmpeg. It is amazing software which can help solve a multitude of video- and audio-related problems. If you are comfortable with the command line, it is a breeze to use. The available options are very smart, and errors are often handled gracefully. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

What do you dislike about FFmpeg?

This software is used via the command line, so non-engineers will face a steep learning curve in order to use the program. Even for advanced users, some of the available options are tough to learn, despite being very powerful. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.
