Knowing which software products ship, embed, or bundle FFmpeg, which release branches they use, and their support lifecycles, can help the FFmpeg project determine how to best devote resources in maintaining older release branches of FFmpeg.  Feel free to contribute or update information on this page.

{{{#!comment
Please use ISO 8601 (YYYY-MM-DD) format for simple parsing)

In case no EOL date is known please provide a link to where security support is provided for the distribution
unless its a rolling release.
this allows one to easily determine if a distribution is still being supported or has reached EOL.
If there is no security support provided anywhere for a distribution then it has already reached its end of life.
Entries which provide neither EOL date nor a link to some place with security updates may be removed
