Having built programs that used the ffmpeg libraries (as well as x264) I have to say that a tutorial that is up to date and recent like this would have been very helpful at the time. Glad to see somebody is undertaking this effort.

I agree. ffmpeg can be inscrutable sometimes. Understanding the internal concepts is a big boost when using it. For example I've used "-avcodec" hundreds of times in the command line but I just now understood where that fit in.
