 ### ffmpeg
-cobalt heavily relies on ffmpeg for converting and merging media files. it's an absolutely amazing piece of software offered for anyone for free, yet doesn't receive as much credit as it should.
+cobalt relies on ffmpeg for muxing and encoding media files. ffmpeg is absolutely spectacular and we're privileged to have an ability to use it for free, just like anyone else. we believe it should be way more recognized.
 
 you can [support ffmpeg here](https://ffmpeg.org/donations.html)!
 
-#### ffmpeg-static
-we use [ffmpeg-static](https://github.com/eugeneware/ffmpeg-static) to get binaries for ffmpeg depending on the platform.
