        FFmpeg is the ultimate multimedia sonic screwdriver. Also, GUI wrappers around it only give access to a small fraction of its functionality; to fully exploit its power, you need to resort to the command line.

          I agree that FFmpeg is great, but still it's strange that it didn't support Opus encoding until now.

            It did support it through libopus, I'm not sure why they've decided to add an internal encoder now, maybe they have some geniuses who can knock the socks off libopus on either high or low bitrate (or both! that would be dazzling).

              Or maybe it's gonna end up like their Vorbis encoder, so it's crap and they have to tell people not to use it.

                is there a way to test?

                  The decoders, parsers and interpreters needs to be rewritten in Rust for safety against vulnerabilities and exploits.

                    How far are you already? Quite excited about your work! What development version of the rust language are using?
