Paper book readers, who are interested in media formats, might enjoy it. There are however, both, books and software that are more suited for a typical end user. For power users and developers it's okay for basic automated processing. It is, however, lacks new and exciting features, that are available in documentation. Today we have many basic automated tools and scripts. The ones you'd actually want to build yourself using FFMPEG probably aren't one of those.

I hoped this book would explain the detailed explanation of video processing and its technical terms.
If you spend some hours the online documentation is better and it's free.
I wouldn't waste my money around it
