Its actually been buried in the product (business/pro features) for a 
long time - I had forgotten about it until relatively recently...

FWIW, I *think* mergAV can do similar things on macOS* to the 
mediafoundation external on Windows - although the APIs, while similar, 
do require different code.

However, if you are using ffmpeg for things other than concatenating 
tracks/movies (i.e. the features those libraries provide) then the 
separate code needed wouldn't be worth it to save inclusion of ffmpeg.

Warmest Regards,
