## What it is
FFMpegCore is a .NET Standard wrapper around FFMpeg and FFProbe for integrating media analysis and conversion into C# applications. It provides a fluent argument builder, sync/async processing, stream piping, and helper methods like snapshot and GIF capture.

## Use cases
- convert video files to h264/aac in a C# app
- probe media file metadata with ffprobe from .NET
- extract a snapshot frame from a video
- transcode video to and from streams
- generate GIFs from video clips
- integrate ffmpeg into an ASP.NET backend

## When to choose
- you're on .NET and want a typed, fluent API over ffmpeg instead of shelling out manually
- you need both media analysis (ffprobe) and conversion in one package
- you want async processing and stream piping support

## When to avoid
- you need direct access to every raw ffmpeg option without wrapper abstraction
- you're not on a .NET platform
- you need a GUI or CLI tool rather than a library

## Facets
- artifact type: library
- maturity: active
- function: video-processing, audio-processing, image-processing
- domain: media, developer-tools
- platform: dotnet, cross-platform
- tags: ffmpeg, ffprobe, media-conversion, media-analysis, csharp, wrapper, video, audio
