If you are looking for language tips, here you go:

User fewer nested brackets.  A sentence should still make sense after
you eliminate/delete each bracketed section.  The example I created here
is limited and repetitive but should show you what I mean

See?

Use fewer commas.  Your second paragraph is one entire sentence with so
many commas separating various things that make it very hard to keep
track of your point.

I don't want dissuade you from using English if it isn't your native
language.  You seem to speak it fairly well.  I am no English professor
either.  This is just to help you be more clear about your point.

Carl did give you a couple of links which may help clear up the
situation.  I will just add this.

FFmpeg (two upper-case 'F') is the name of the project/group here at
ffmpeg.org.  You can communicate with it/us at this mailing list.  It
provides these programs: ffmpeg, ffplay, ffserver, ffprobe.  It also
provides these libraries (among others): libavcodec, libavformat.  These
libraries are often referred to with some on these shorthands: libav,
libav*, lavc, lavf.

Libav (with the upper-case 'L') is the name of that other project/group
over at libav.org.  It provides the programs: avconv, avprobe.  It too
provides some libraries: libavcodec, libavformat.

Overall it is pretty confusing for those on the "outside".
