It's possible their AVC encoder is not x264, and their VC1 encoder might be from Microsoft, in which case it would be a pretty modified ffmpeg. And some of the input formats might not be using it either.

But you can be sure it's involved somewhere, since there's no other ProRes decoder that works on Linux!

Lightworks supports ProRes: http://www.lwks.com/index.php?option=com_content&view=articl...

FFmpeg supports Prores decode and encode? FFMBC for sure last time I checked

FFmpeg does, it has different decoder implementations with their own quirks (btw, moot AFAIK because I think they use EyeIO):
