GoDoc

Usage

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

  • 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]
