Meaning
FFmpeg is a collection of media-processing tools and libraries used for tasks such as inspection, conversion and filtering.
A practical example
A production workflow can inspect stream metadata before deciding whether a file needs transcoding or only repackaging.
What to check
An installed executable is not a validated delivery pipeline. Review commands, versions, resource limits and resulting media before automating a large batch.
