@lbloch what's the "code that streams every YouTube video, every Netflix show, every TikTok clip"? (I get the impression that you're mixing up serving and transcoding 🤔)

@jpetazzo @lbloch When streaming or reading video, I think browser use FFmpeg.

@jpetazzo @lbloch 1) do you think that serving video can be done effectively without transcoding?
2) did OP say “serving” or “streaming”?

@RealGene @jpetazzo @lbloch I think you mean "pedant" - unless pendant is a new word for bell-end.
Yes, I know what I am doing :-)

@jpetazzo dude, semantics. Does it matter? The point here is that without #ffmpeg (either standalone or as a library, either server-farm side or client side), you wouldn't have watched a steamed video for the past two decades, not through a browser, not through vlc, not otherwise. @lbloch
