A guide like this is always welcome. My biggest struggle with FFmpeg was to find clear documentation, tutorials and examples about API usage. All the guides out there (including this one) is for the command line version, or if the tutorial focuses on the API, it's probably outdated. Every time I have to go back and do something with FFMPEG I have to just plainly read the code of FFPlay to "catch-up" with the workflow.
And don't get me started on that time I had modify the FFmpeg libs to provide support and implement an H264 encode/decoder on a custom architecture!!
- gyan 4y agoFor API use, see the examples in https://github.com/FFmpeg/FFmpeg/tree/master/doc/examples https://github.com/FFmpeg/FFmpeg/tree/master/doc/examples
- onion2k 4y agoMy biggest struggle with FFmpeg was to find clear documentation... I've found the ffmpeg documentation does a good job as a technical reference. The problem is that most people reading it are actually expecting a 'what options will fix my video' how-to guide.
