I just looked inside the linux appimage. There's only a 2.4MB libffmpeg.so and it doesn't link against anything else than libc stuff.

You are all on point! Great analysis. - Yes, it's electron (didn't expect such a huge build for such a small app). - The bundled ffmpeg is probably a light version that comes from the underlying chrome. - The app detects if there's a ffmpeg available otherwise it downloads the binaries and uses them instead.
