[FFmpeg-devel] higher-level libs?

[David McNab]

Hi,

Does anyone know of any higher-level libraries, in C, C++ or Python,
which reduce the application programming effort needed to use lavc/lavf?

My idea of an ideal wrapper lib would be one which gives simple
primitives to:
 - open an arbitrary video file for input
 - read transparently-decoded video frames, as raw YCbCr or RGB planes
 - read decoded audio, as buffers of raw samples
 - open an arbitrary video file for output
 - choose codecs, frame size, fps, audio sample rate etc
 - feed in raw video frames, as raw YCbCr or RGB planes
 - feed in raw audio samples

I'd be most comfortable with a library which allows the application to
achieve these things in dozens, rather than hundreds or thousands of
lines.

All help appreciated.

Cheers
David
