An open-source tutorial teaching how to use FFmpeg's libav libraries in C, covering video/audio fundamentals, codecs, containers, and hands-on chapters on remuxing and transcoding. It includes runnable example code and translations in multiple languages.
Use cases
- learn how video and audio codecs work
- get started with ffmpeg libav api in c
- write a program to remux video files
- understand transcoding and transmuxing concepts
- build a media processing tool with libav
- replace the deprecated dranger ffmpeg tutorial
When to choose
- you want to learn FFmpeg as a library (libav) rather than just the CLI
- you need a maintained, example-driven introduction to media fundamentals
- you prefer learning through runnable C code with explanations
When to avoid
- you only need FFmpeg command-line recipes without library programming
- you need production-ready media processing code rather than educational examples
- you want tutorials in a language other than C without adapting the concepts
