So a lot of FFmpeg pipelines involve the X264 project, which is a video land project.

I would put a finger in the air that, say, 80 plus percent of those pipelines are dependent on a video land project.

VLC, obviously, we've discussed a Videoland project, uses FFmpeg, gives it reach, exposure to weird files, historically used some donation money to fund FFmpeg development.

And we'll talk a bit maybe about some of the reverse engineering later.

So it's a binary star system.

They work and feed off each other.

Many of the developers are shared.

There's no central location.

It's a virtuous cycle working together.

So H.264 is the standard.

X264.

Is the open source implementation of the standard.

Yeah.

If it came from a software environment, like a data center or somewhere, the chances are it was created with x264.

That's a Videoland project.

So in the Videoland graphic, it sits in the Videoland world.

Yeah, unfortunately, there's a thing on X where VLC is mentioned and there's people... A quick reminder that it's FFmpeg inside doing the actual work.

And that's, like I said, it's not... That's not the case.

We work together...

Let's talk about the eras of FMPEG because there's...
