FFmpeg is a cross-platform solution to record, convert and stream audio and video.

Docs
FFmpeg's official docs are notoriously difficult for beginners to understand due to the scope and complexity of FFmpeg's capabilities. With that being said, they're still very useful as a reference.
- FFmpeg.org - Where it all starts.

- Man page - Official FFmpeg man page.
- Wiki & Bug Tracker - Lots of great info on here.
- CLI flags - A comprehensive list of all FFmpeg commandline flags. Really useful for searching random flags that you come across in the wild.
