Can't confirm. LLMs tend to be oddly good at FFmpeg and give you a good starting point you can work with.



probably because the documentation (of which there's a lot) is very good.


I don't know if I agree with that. The official docs do list a lot but often you get something like compression_level takes an integer from 1-8. But doesn't tell you if 1 is smaller output or 8 is to work the hardest.

However the wiki pages can be quite good if they cover your use case and the real strength is so many examples online. Even if many of the example command lines feel like they have been cargo-culted through the years and no one actually understands what exactly they do.
