NAME

libavcodec - media streams decoding and encoding library

DESCRIPTION

The libavcodec library provides a generic encoding/decoding framework and contains multiple decoders and encoders for audio, video and subtitle streams, and several bitstream filters.

The shared architecture provides various services ranging from bit stream I/O to

optimizations, and makes it suitable for implementing robust and fast codecs as well as for experimentation.
