PyFFmpeg is a wrapper around FFmpeg's libavcodec, libavformat and libavutil libraries whose main purpose is to provide access to individual frames of video files of various formats and codecs (such as mpg, mp4, mov, avi, flv, mkv, wmf, and webm). PyFFmpeg provides a simple object oriented interface to those libraries. The libavcodec and libavformat libraries of the FFmpeg project are quite complex to use, especially from Python. Using FFmpeg and libavcodec you can develop applications that can parse and display video files and be sure they will work on most platform, including of course Linux, Macintosh, and Windows boxes. And thus it does not depend on your operating system installed libraries. This library generally uses its own codec. It includes libavcodec, a leading audio/video codec library that can work with most video and audio formats. DescriptionįFmpeg is a software package containing libraries and utilities for encoding, decoding and converting audio and video files. There is no exact equivalent of pyffmpeg existing, but we do recommend that you have a look at projects like OpenCV and Media Lovin Toolkit - as they are generally able to similar features. We need some time to update this project for the most recent FFmpeg version. Due to major changes in the API, it won't compile currently with modern versions of FFmpeg. This software has been unmaintained for a long time. tar.gz News We moved the project completely to /mhaller/pyffmpeg since will close its project hosting in the begin of 2016.įurther on, we're working again on an update for this wrapper.
