    Agreeing with this. Unless you have very specific performance codec or packaging needs i think external ffmpeg process etc will work fine. In my experience with transcoding the cpu/memory/etc overhead of an external process is usually dwarfed by the actual transcoding workload. Also the extra process overhead is not typically a problem as you can't really do that many concurrent transcodings on one host anyway. If you want some inspiration you can have a look at https://github.com/wader/ydls

    I have used the ffmpeg-go in the past and found it quite nice. My usecase was decoding the video to raw frames and then directly processing the raw frame bytes further in Go.

    Obviously this is tongue in cheek. You could probably do this in Go but I'd recommend just using ffmpeg. There are bindings to ffmpeg in Go but I doubt it's going to be easier than writing it directly in C, unless you aren't proficient with C.

    For merging, yes, it's a bit problematic. From what I saw in the community the use of ffmpeg is often made, but not in raw (exec.Cmd). I would recommend the use of https://github.com/u2takey/ffmpeg-go module which provides a convenient API, permitting to defer the load of ffmpeg CLI API. I never used it but it seems a good solution.

    I used u2takey/ffmpeg-go to merge two streams (audio and video) in a project, and worked just fine.

    There is a Go binding for ffmpeg: https://github.com/u2takey/ffmpeg-go
