Golang binding for FFmpeg



A comprehensive binding to the ffmpeg video/audio manipulation library.



[![GoDoc](https://godoc.org/github.com/giorgisio/goav?status.svg)](https://godoc.org/github.com/giorgisio/goav)



## Usage



`````go



import "github.com/giorgisio/goav/avformat"



func main() {



	filename := "sample.mp4"



	// Register all formats and codecs

	avformat.AvRegisterAll()



	ctx := avformat.AvformatAllocContext()



	// Open video file

	if avformat.AvformatOpenInput(&ctx, filename, nil, nil) != 0 {

		log.Println("Error: Couldn't open file.")

		return

	}



	// Retrieve stream information

	if ctx.AvformatFindStreamInfo(nil) < 0 {

		log.Println("Error: Couldn't find stream information.")



		// Close input file and free context

		ctx.AvformatCloseInput()

		return

	}



	//...



}

`````



## Libraries



* `avcodec` corresponds to the ffmpeg library: libavcodec [provides implementation of a wider range of codecs]

* `avformat` corresponds to the ffmpeg library: libavformat [implements streaming protocols, container formats and basic I/O access]

* `avutil` corresponds to the ffmpeg library: libavutil [includes hashers, decompressors and miscellaneous utility functions]

* `avfilter` corresponds to the ffmpeg library: libavfilter [provides a mean to alter decoded Audio and Video through chain of filters]

* `avdevice` corresponds to the ffmpeg library: libavdevice [provides an abstraction to access capture and playback devices]

* `swresample` corresponds to the ffmpeg library: libswresample [implements audio mixing and resampling routines]

* `swscale` corresponds to the ffmpeg library: libswscale [implements color conversion and scaling routines]
