A history of the FFmpeg project
[Posted January 25, 2023 by corbet]
Kostya Shishkov has just posted the concluding installment of an extensive history of the FFmpeg project:
See, unlike many people I don’t regard FFmpeg as something unique (in the sense that it’s a project only Fabrice Bellard could create). It was nice to have around and it helped immeasurably but without it something else would fill the niche. There were other people working on similar tasks after all (does anybody remember transcode? or gmerlin?). Hopefully you got an idea on how many talented unsung heroes had been working on FFmpeg and libav over the years.
The full set can be found on this page. (Thanks to Paul Wise).
