Looking at the huge size, I will take a wild guess, and say it's an Electron app.
- gyan 3y agoOr more likely, ffmpeg binary is embedded, considering that they don't provide instructions to download it on that page.
- askl 3y agoYes, ffmpeg is included. It takes up 2.4MB. The rest is electron bloat.
- gyan 3y agoThat's not big enough to include even most native components. My essentials build with only common 3rd party libs (like libx264) compresses to 20MB with LZMA2.
- askl 3y agoI just looked inside the linux appimage. There's only a 2.4MB libffmpeg.so and it doesn't link against anything else than libc stuff.
- ybouane 3y agoYou are all on point! Great analysis. - Yes, it's electron (didn't expect such a huge build for such a small app). - The bundled ffmpeg is probably a light version that comes from the underlying chrome. - The app detects if there's a ffmpeg available otherwise it downloads the binaries and uses them instead.
