Fabrice Bellard

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).

He was born in 1972 in Grenoble, France and 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 [http://www.enst.fr/ Télécom Paris] .

In 1997, he discovered the fastest formula to calculate single digits of pi in binary representation, which is a variant of the Bailey-Borwein-Plouffe formula. [ [http://fabrice.bellard.free.fr/pi/pi_bin/pi_bin.html A new formula to compute the n'th binary digit of pi] January 21, 1997]

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