ffpp is a dynamic C++ library with an API for major FFmpeg tasks, designed for faster integration in GUI applications on both Windows and GNU/Linux.
On Windows, using ffpp library involves downloading libffppwin, creating a basic code, compiling with Clang, and running scripts to build and execute the program.
On GNU/Linux, after installing necessary dependencies and building ffpp from GitHub, a similar process for creating code, compiling, and running is followed.
The API examples with ffpp involve tasks like converting video formats, extracting frames, getting video information, and cutting a video from a specific time point with a specific duration.
