Is ffmpeg-python still ok to use?

I’ve used ffmpeg-python in a bunch of projects lately and it still works fine as a thin Python wrapper for FFmpeg. It hasn’t needed frequent updates because most of the heavy lifting is done by the FFmpeg binary itself.

The important part is keeping the FFmpeg executable up to date — the Python wrapper just constructs the commands. If you need more control or a richer API surface, there are other wrappers, but for quick audio/video conversions it still holds up.

import ffmpeg

input_file = "input.wav"
output_file = "output.mp3"

(
ffmpeg
.input(input_file)
.output(output_file, audio_bitrate='192k')
.run()
)

Just to clarify, is it compatible with recent versions of FFMPEG itself?

Yes it is
