A wrapper would be some sort of straight pass through and ffmpeg does more than that. That's how you can create big commands that rewire channels, use audio from a different source, subtitles from a specific language, filter, overlay text then stream it all out. That's not trivial, but I don't know why you're getting upset over it.

Do you agree that handbrake uses ffmpeg

[CyberDildonics]

Yeah I meant to say it doesn't use all of ffmpeg of course.

[mort96]

Okay, good. So we agree.

[CyberDildonics]

ffmpeg is not a trivial wrapper and handbrake uses very little of ffmpeg.
