          you’re arguing that the only format you know of is the only format. incorrect I’m afraid. gstreamer, libav, mediapipe, vapoursynth, imagemagick to name a few, there are alternatives.

            You clearly have no idea what you’re talking about lol

            ffmpeg is a video format conversion tool/encoder/editor and is used in pretty much everything you see or hear. It’s used in half the tools you mention!
