Auto-generated unsafe P/Invoke bindings exposing the FFmpeg C API to C#/.NET and Mono. It mirrors the FFmpeg API with minimal modification and ships NuGet packages versioned in sync with FFmpeg releases.

Use cases

• decode video frames in c#
• extract jpeg frames from video with .net
• use ffmpeg from c# on linux and macos
• transcode audio in .net
• access ffmpeg api from mono
• convert video files in a c# application

When to choose

• you need direct, low-level access to the full FFmpeg C API from C#/.NET
• you need cross-platform FFmpeg support including Linux, macOS, and Mono
• you are comfortable translating C FFmpeg examples to C# yourself

When to avoid

• you want a friendly, managed high-level media API with documentation and support
• you only need simple tasks like running ffmpeg commands, where shelling out to the CLI is easier
• you need hand-holding or official support, as the project explicitly offers very limited support
