AIUI, (lib)ffmpeg is used by practically everything that does anything with video, including such definitely-security-sensitive things as Chrome, which people use to play untrusted content all the time.

Then maybe the Google chrome devs should submit a PR to ffmpeg.

Chrome devs frequently do just that, Chrome just doesn’t enable this codec.

[omnicognate]

Sure. And fund them.

hmm, didn't realize chrome was using ffmpeg in the background. That definitely makes it more dangerous than I supposed.

Looks like firefox does the same.

Firefox has moved some parsers to Rust: https://github.com/mozilla/mp4parse-rust

Firefox also does a lot of media decoding in a separate process.

Pretty much anything that has any video uses the library (incl. youtube)
