    I mean, it would be great if this succeeded… ffmpeg is nice and all but its interface is clearly terrible and there’s absolutely no way it is remotely secure. Anyone that uses it on a server basically has to run it in its own VM, or a severely locked down sandbox.

    But good luck supporting all the codecs people expect. I’m not even talking the obscure ones ffmpeg supports; just the ones “normal” people use will be a life’s work.

    Also you have to change the name!

        It’s just not a very good name. Awkward even without the mpreg/preg thing. Steps on ffmpeg’s toes too much. Just pick something unique. Videoh. Muxy. Movrify. Flippityflop, whatever. I thought about those names for literally 10 seconds. You can definitely do better than ffmpreg if you think harder!
