While ffmpeg does support a lot of really old / obscure media formats, support isn’t nearly as good for professional broadcast / film video formats. DNxHD can be hit or miss and it doesn’t support formats like OMF or AAF. I have heard some broadcasters’ QC departments reject ProRes created by ffmpeg as invalid.

It is probably following the spec too closely.

Like when Apple added ExFat support and Windows couldn't handle it, because Microsoft only wrote the spec. They didn't follow it.

I found ffmpeg supports HAP Q pretty good, which is a decent intermediary format.
