Chances are good that you are using ffmpeg in one form or another. It is used in tons of software and services like your browser or Twitch and YouTube.
Bad journalism has nothing to do with this. Literal first paragraph of the article:
You may never have heard of FFmpeg, but you’ve used it. This open source program’s robust multimedia framework is used to process video and audio media files and streams across numerous platforms and devices. It provides tools and libraries for format conversion, aka transcoding, playback, editing, streaming, and post-production effects for both audio and video media.
If you weren’t paying attention until someone pointed out your error, just say that. We won’t crucify you.
i don’t care about ffmpeg
So you don’t ever watch videos?
Or audio either lol
Are there other formats?
Not without ffmpeg.
… Why?

It’s pretty close to xkcd/2347 status.
This is a matter of bad journalism, not my personal taste. Ciao
