Interview with FFMPEG enthusiast

That's correct, it seems the op was making at least an adjacent argument of critique of capitalism and how it affects people's access to information (or technology-as-information, such as "guide on how to get a filmic look when editing video"). I support people undercutting businesses in their marketing post comment sections with Free as in beer or freedom solutions to achieve whatever's being sold. I believe in the ethicality of Free as in Freedom software, for one thing, but also in general information freedom. I feel gross about knowledge hoarding. If you're a fan of capitalism, I think you should agree with me. Capitalist minded people can try to use Free software to extract labor for no cost (jokes on you, we extract your engineer's labor at cost to you when they get frustrated and start making commits at work), and Free software comes with other advantages. Furthermore, if you're investigating solutions to your business need to do filmic solutions, isn't it nice that there are hordes of us weirdos ready to help prevent you from spending money unnecessarily? If you're trying to sell filmic solutions, isn't it nice to be challenged on your business model publicly and specifically rather than scratch your head at poor sales with no idea how to add value? Sidenote I was reminded of this comedy video: [VIDEO] "Interview with an FFMPEG Enthusiast"

> Sidenote I was reminded of this comedy video: [VIDEO] "Interview with an FFMPEG Enthusiast" As an aside this is one of the funniest videos i've seen in a while, and totally captures the open source ux experience (i say in a loving joking way)

Obligatory humor: [VIDEO] Note of support: ffmpeg supported many of the transcoding needs of my former employer back in 2007, being a "friendly" tool to the team. Yes it had/s issue. Being open source gave us a lifeline, to be able to fix our own stuff, and build up our video and audio live streaming and video watching white label service.

[EDIT: This was meant to be a reply to another comment in this thread but I posted it under the top-level comment by mistake. I am leaving this comment intact anyway, in case someone finds it useful.] The web browsers don't highlight the feed URL information embedded in the HTML anymore, quite unfortunately. But if you go to a YouTube video, say, < [VIDEO] > and then view or inspect the HTML source, you can find the LINK tag for the feed: <link rel="alternate" type="application/rss+xml" title="RSS" href=" [LINK] So the feed URL in this case is: < [LINK] >.
