What it is AI-extracted, prompt v1, taxonomy v1, 2026-08-30, confidence not recorded
Go bindings for the FFmpeg multimedia libraries (libavcodec, libavformat, libavfilter, etc.) built with cgo. The repository is explicitly no longer maintained.
Use cases
- transcode video files in go
- extract frames from mp4 in golang
- manipulate audio and video with ffmpeg from go
- decode video streams in a go program
- apply ffmpeg filters programmatically
When to choose
- you need direct low-level access to FFmpeg APIs from Go
- you are pinned to an older FFmpeg version and can maintain the bindings yourself
When to avoid
- you want an actively maintained project
- you just need to run ffmpeg commands - use os/exec with the ffmpeg CLI instead
- you need modern FFmpeg features or recent codec support
