Fabrice Bellard is a computer programmer who is best known as the founder of FFmpeg and project leader for QEMU.

He also developed quite a number of other programs, ranging from 3-D graphics to a compact C compiler, the Tiny C Compiler (aka tcc).

Bellard was born in 1972 in Grenoble, France. He went to school in Lycée Joffre (Montpellier), where he created a widely known program, the executable compressor LZEXE. After studying at l'École Polytechnique, in 1996 he specialized at Télécom Paris.

In 1997, Bellard discovered the fastest formula to calculate single digits of pi in binary representation, which is a variant of the Bailey-Borwein-Plouffe formula.[1]

Gérard Lantau, one of the listed creators of FFmpeg is the alter ego of Bellard.
