It handles a few (of the most common) use cases but it is not a generic interface for all of ffmpeg's functionality.

And strictly speaking, it is built on top of Libav, although they are considering switching over after 1.2

By utility, I assume you mean the CLI binary. There have been issues with filtergraph buffer management in the past year or so, but other than that, ffmpeg rarely crashes. What sort of commands crash for you?

I assume that the displayed reason is of either the latest vote or a plurality of them. Absurd either way.

SO moderation is often finicky and sometimes absurd. Somewhat recently, there was a Q which was closed as unclear _after_ I posted a reply & the OP marked it as accepted. The Q had enough context for someone who knew the app concerned (ffmpeg).

But yeah, in the tags I stick to, many Qs are incomplete. A bespoke template or "wizard" triggered by the selection of a tag would go a long way.

But neither this nor the tips in the paper solve the issue of how to draw attention (and answers) to a Q with high-volume tags.

It says, "Each dish costs a mere five rupees, or about 13 cents". Except that, at present, 1 USD = ~65 INR, so more like 8 cents.

MIT license is acceptable in GPLed projects, so potentially FFmpeg could inline the encoder.

“Life time use” != "use over a long period of time"

In epidemiological surveys, lifetime use == reports using at least once.

Thanks for the tip. Is there any media recommendation engine that implements it?

Note though that I'm not talking about the engine itself recommending movies. It places you within a group and shows you the scoring data of like-minded reviewers.

There must be platforms that try to do 'graph-matching' i.e. ask a new user to rate 25-30 popular movies. Compare against scores of other users who have rated the same movies. Identify a cluster of users who rate similarly; our new user is matched with this group. So, for other movies, the user can check the mean/modal score by members in this cluster. Sound familiar?

As the conclusion says,

I’m not implying wrongdoing on Verto’s part, but I don’t believe their survey results. The idea that such a huge chunk of the PC market could or would simply up and move to Apple, or that Apple could even absorb the influx of customers within such a short period of time, are both highly dubious assertions. Customers may talk about making these kinds of moves due to brand halos or favorable perception, but there’s no indication that PC consumers are going to leap for Apple en masse.
