Exactly.

That is why I said easily 100~200k. It will be a rounding error for them.

It is actually crazy that Google is not already hiring the main dev to work on ffmpeg with all the use they give it on Youtube.

I also wonder if it is maybe used by Netflix also.

I'm just imagining them having 4 or 5 250K a year security workers pumping out endless bug reports for one guy in Norway who works on ffmpeg at night and weekends for free because he loves open source and demanding him meet their program deadlines lol

They do and it is.

It is really sad that none of Netflix or Google had hired a couple of devs to work full time on ffmpeg.

I'd be amazed if any of the FAANG's isn't putting real money through ffmpeg somewhere.

So yeah it'd be nice if they put some real money (to ffmpeg - wouldn't be their coffee allowance to any of them) into it.

Almost everything that touches video at some point uses it.
