AvCpp

Wrapper for the FFmpeg that simplify usage it from C++ projects.

Currently covered next functionality:

Core helper & utility classes (AVFrame -> av::AudioSample & av::VideoFrame, AVRational -> av::Rational and so on)
Container formats & contexts muxing and demuxing
Codecs & codecs contexts: encoding and decoding
Streams (AVStream -> av::Stream)
Filters (audio & video): parsing from string, manual adding filters to the graph & other
SW Video & Audio resamplers

Requirements

FFmpeg >= 1.0 (LibAV not supported)
- libavformat >= 54.x.x
- libavcodec >= 54.x.x
- libavfilter >= 3.x.x
- libavutil >= 51.x.x
- libswscale >= 2.x.x
- libswresample >= 0.x.x
- libpostproc >= 52.x.x
GCC >= 4.8 (C++11 is required)

Debian

You should install FFmpeg packages from the deb-multimedia.org site:

sudo apt-get install libavformat-dev libavcodec-dev libavutil-dev libavfilter-dev libswscale-dev libswresample-dev libpostproc-dev

Note 1: I did not test building on Debian.

Note 2: Debian Wheezy repo contains only FFmpeg 1.0.8. I tested building only with 2.x. So it is strongly recoment use Wheezy back-ports repo.

Ubuntu and Linux Mint

You should add ffmpeg-opti PPA:

sudo add-apt-repository ppa:adrozdoff/ffmpeg-opti
sudo apt-get update
sudo apt-get install libavformat-ffmpeg-dev libavcodec-ffmpeg-dev libavutil-ffmpeg-dev libavfilter-ffmpeg-dev libswscale-ffmpeg-dev libswresample-ffmpeg-dev libpostproc-ffmpeg-dev

Near future plans

~~Building for Android (ready to commint but small code clean up is required)~~

Future plans (long and not)

Code cleanup
Remove all deprecates in Filters module (FFmpeg 2.x)
API redisign, make it more intuitively
Filters module complete rework
Add good samples
Make hight-level entities like av::Encoder, av::Decoder, av::Muxer, av::Demuxer and declare some API to combine them.
More advanced Android building
