ffmpeg Setup

ffmpeg is an open-source command line tool to convert multimedia between formats. It can be downloaded as a pre-built binary, built directly from the source code or installed using Homebrew (macOS).

Additional download locations for pre-built binaries can be found on the offical FFmpeg website.
