【Corrections】

I neglected to thank Fabrice Bellard (bellard.org), who launched FFmpeg in 2000 and led it for several years.

【Notes】

I have read that YouTube has started creating its own hardware encoders, but it's not clear how often they use those versus using CPU-based encoding via FFmpeg, and anyway, my understanding is that these hardware encoders cannot be used for the many older formats YouTube supports.
I have read that Netflix employees contribute some work to FFmpeg, which is great, but not an alternative to paying maintainers.
