FFmpeg/FFprobe command reference for media operations — transcode, probe, extract, concat, filter, stream copy, HW accel. Use when an agent needs to manipulate audio/video files directly without a higher-level abstraction (HyperFrames, Remotion, video-use). Covers the installed build (8.1.1, Homebrew, Apple Silicon) with its enabled libraries.

Collected from public GitHub. Every version is saved exactly as it was and never changes. Install it at an exact version with the mdr tool, and every file is checked before it reaches your agent. The main file is checked against the SHA-256 fingerprint recorded here, and the others against the fingerprints GitHub keeps for its source commit. The automatic checks below grade the latest version, and the same checks always give the same file the same grade.

What the file says

# ffmpeg

Direct media manipulation via `ffmpeg` and `ffprobe`. Use this skill for operations that don't need a full video editing pipeline (video-use) or composition framework (HyperFrames/Remotion).

## Installed Build

```
ffmpeg 8.1.1 — Homebrew, Apple Silicon (aarch64)
Path: /opt/homebrew/bin/ffmpeg
HW accel: VideoToolbox (encode/decode), AudioToolbox
Codecs: libx264, libx265, libsvtav1, libvpx, libopus, libmp3lame, libdav1d
Scoring: libvmaf
TLS: openssl
```

## Probe Before Act

Always `ffprobe` before processing. Never assume codec, resolution, framerate, or duration.

```bash
# JSON probe (agent-friendly)
ffprobe -v quiet -print_format json -show_format -show_streams input.mp4

# Quick duration
ffprobe -v quiet -show_entries format=duration -of csv=p=0 input.mp4

# Stream summary
ffprobe -v quiet -show_entries stream=index,codec_type,codec_name,width,height,r_frame_rate,channels,sample_rate -of json input.mp4
```

## Common Operations

### Transcode

```bash
# H.264 (universal compatibility)
ffmpeg -i input.mp4 -c:v libx264 -crf 23 -preset medium -c:a aac -b:a 128k output.mp4

# H.265 (smaller files, good device support)

How to install

The exact contents, by fingerprint
mdr add tekkiiiii/the-agency/ffmpeg@sha256:ded9c5c119bcdab8

The line at the top of this page pins the label git:20260618.187a6a3, which is what most people want. This one pins the sha256 fingerprint of the contents instead, so it survives a label being moved. Either way the exact version is written to mdr.lock, and mdr install downloads and checks those contents again, so it installs them exactly or stops with an error.
