    # FFmpeg is a tool for converting, streaming, and playing multimedia content.

    # The installation recipe pulls heavily from this guide: https://ffmpeg.org/trac/ffmpeg/wiki/UbuntuCompilationGuide
    #
    # If you have trouble with the server hanging on "Building Debian package...", try increasing the
    # instance size. I've had bad luck with m1.small and good luck with m1.large

    # qtfaststart is a script for repositioning the Quicktime atom for mp4 streaming.
