## What it is
MobileFFmpeg is a library that packages FFmpeg and FFprobe for Android, iOS, and tvOS, with prebuilt binaries and support for many external codec libraries. It is no longer maintained and has been superseded by FFmpegKit.

## Use cases
- convert video files inside an android app
- transcode audio on ios
- extract frames from video on mobile
- compress videos on a phone
- run ffmpeg commands in an ios app
- process media on tvos

## When to choose
- you must support very old mobile OS versions and need a frozen ffmpeg build
- you are maintaining a legacy project already using mobile-ffmpeg

## When to avoid
- starting a new project - use FFmpegKit instead
- you need updated ffmpeg versions or bug fixes
- you need non-mobile platforms

## Facets
- artifact type: library
- maturity: abandoned
- function: video-processing, audio-processing, image-processing
- domain: mobile-development, media, cross-platform
- platform: cross-platform
- tags: ffmpeg, mobile, tvos, media-transcoding, superseded-by-ffmpegkit, android, ios
