## Description

FFmpeg-Builds is a cross-platform compilation toolchain and custom build system designed to generate static executables of the FFmpeg multimedia framework. It provides a distribution of pre-compiled binaries for multiple operating systems and hardware architectures.

The project utilizes a Docker-based build environment to isolate toolchains and dependencies. This containerized approach enables multi-architecture cross-compilation and allows for parameter-driven feature selection to include specific codecs, libraries, and license options in the final binaries.

The system manages the entire workflow from layered image construction to the production of standalone executable files for Windows and Linux that do not require external libraries on target systems.
