It creates a stream from an input file, specifies an output file, and then executes the FFmpeg command. For this example to function correctly, an `input.mp4` file must exist, and the FFmpeg binary must be installed and accessible on your system.","tag":null,"tag_description":null,"last_tested":"2026-04-24","results":[{"runtime":"python:3.10-alpine","exit_code":0},{"runtime":"python:3.10-slim","exit_code":0},{"runtime":"python:3.11-alpine","exit_code":0},{"runtime":"python:3.11-slim","exit_code":0},{"runtime":"python:3.12-alpine","exit_code":0},{"runtime":"python:3.12-slim","exit_code":0},{"runtime":"python:3.13-alpine","exit_code":0},{"runtime":"python:3.13-slim","exit_code":0},{"runtime":"python:3.9-alpine","exit_code":0},{"runtime":"python:3.9-slim","exit_code":0}]}
