The thing I have a problem with, specifically, is your statement that Handbrake doesn't use ffmpeg. That statement is incorrect.

I have no problem with the statement "Handbrake doesn't make a good ffmpeg GUI, because it only exposes a small part of what ffmpeg can do". That part is totally 100% fine.

I have a problem with the statement "Handbrake doesn't use ffmpeg", which you claimed here: https://news.ycombinator.com/item?id=39943516.

And I have a problem with the response "ffmpeg is a lot more than just a wrapper around the libraries" (https://news.ycombinator.com/item?id=39941964), given the fact that ffmpeg project is the libraries and that the ffmpeg CLI tool is just an interface to them. "ffmpeg is more than a wrapper around the libraries" is strictly speaking true (because ffmpeg is both the libraries themselves and the "wrapper" ffmpeg command line tool), but it doesn't make sense as a response in context.

Do you understand? Or do I need to break it down further?
