This article was amazing! I struggled through learning to use ffmepg as a C++ library, and then I found out how restrictive their licensing was and about mpeg patent laws which was a huge bummer. I'm building a video editor for mathematical animations, it's open source and I wanted to distribute a single executable as a paid option if you don't want to compile it yourself. Unfortunately this is borderline impossible with ffmpegs restrictive licensing. It looks like AV1 will be a great replacement, and seems like it will be widely supported in the future. The BSD-3 license also seems way more permissive, which is a huge plus. Does anyone have any experience using it as a library? I'll definitely be experimenting with it, but I wanted to see if anyone else had a good experience with it as opposed to ffmpeg or something :) Edit: I just wanted to add that my mis-capitalization of ffmpeg is completely intentional ;)
