If there was a nearly inexhaustible supply of Indian security researchers emailing you a nearly inexhaustible supply of LLM slop daily, there is a point where you or I would stop caring too.

ffmpeg is Free Software. You are also free not to use it.

Oddly enough, despite all these endless grievances, no one has come up with a better or more capable tool, certainly not one that is freely available.

Evidently no one cares either, because most implementations of ffmpeg I've seen typically run it as root "because we have to". Don't worry we use Docker bro.
