Impressed anytime I have to use it (even if I have to study its man page again or use an LLM to construct the right incantation or use a GUI that just builds the incantation based on visual options). Becoming an indispensable transcoding multitool.

I think building some processing off of Vulkan 1.3 was the right move. (Aside, I also just noticed yesterday that Asahi Linux on Mac supports that standard as well.)

with gemini-cli and claude-cli you can now prompt while it prompts ffmpeg, and it does work.

Curious to see how quickly each LLM picks up the new codecs/options.

the canonical (if that's the right word for a 2-year-old technique) solution is to paste the whole manual into the context before asking questions

Gemini can now load context from a URL in the API (https://ai.google.dev/gemini-api/docs/url-context), but I'm not sure if that has made it to the web interfaces yet.
