avio#
Python package for processing multimedia files and streams. It it built upon the foundation of FFMPEG, but it is not a thin wrapper. The details of using FFMPEG have been abstracted away and modularized so that the developer may focus on higher level operations without being concerned with the details of the underlying mechanics.
Display of the video and audio streams is provided automatically, and a minimal in-screen GUI is available by default for basic operations including pause, seek and single step operations in both forward and reverse time order. The GUI may be supplanted by the developer for more sophisticated operations if desired.
The package provides a callback mechanism by which the video stream frames may be manipulated using a python interface. This is a powerful feature that allows developers to work on individual frames as they are processed through the system using python functions, operations that previously would have required a C++ interface to implement.
In addition to GPU image processisng, full access to hardware GPU decoding and encoding is possible, harnessing the power of the GPU to improve perfomance during read and write operations. Most common formats are easily configured, allowing the devloper to present data to a wider audience.
