6 libavcodec - media streams decoding and encoding library
7
9 The libavcodec library provides a generic encoding/decoding framework
10 and contains multiple decoders and encoders for audio, video and
11 subtitle streams, and several bitstream filters.
12
13 The shared architecture provides various services ranging from bit
14 stream I/O to DSP optimizations, and makes it suitable for implementing
15 robust and fast codecs as well as for experimentation.
