A Java library providing a fluent interface for building and running FFmpeg command-line operations, including probing media files with ffprobe. It wraps the external FFmpeg binary rather than reimplementing codecs.

Use cases

• transcode video files to mp4 with specific codecs from Java
• probe media file metadata like duration and resolution
• extract audio from video files
• generate thumbnails from videos
• resize and re-encode video with a target file size
• automate ffmpeg jobs in a Java backend

When to choose

• you're on the JVM and want type-safe, fluent ffmpeg command construction
• you need media probing (ffprobe) results as Java objects
• you want a maintained wrapper instead of shelling out to ffmpeg manually

When to avoid

• you need native in-process encoding without an external ffmpeg binary
• you're not on the JVM
• you need GPU-accelerated pipelines with fine-grained control beyond CLI flags
