Open Source C Video Encoders

Weylus turns your tablet or smart phone into a graphic tablet/touch screen for your computer! No apps except a modern browser (Firefox 80+, iOS/iPadOS 13+) are required on your tablet. Start Weylus, preferably set an access code in the access code box and press the Start button. This will start a webserver running on your computer. To control your computer with your tablet you need to open the url http://<address of your computer>:<port set in the menu, default is 1701>, if possible Weylus will display to you the url you need to open and show a QR code with the encoded address. If you have a firewall running make sure to open a TCP port for the webserver (1701 by default) and the websocket connection (9001 by default).

FFmpegKit is a collection of tools to use FFmpeg in Android, iOS, Linux, macOS, tvOS, Flutter and React Native applications. It includes scripts to build FFmpeg native libraries, a wrapper library to run FFmpeg/FFprobe commands in applications and 8 prebuilt binary packages available at Github, Maven Central, CocoaPods, pub and npm. All scripts support additional options to enable optional libraries and disable platform architectures. FFmpegKit is a wrapper library that allows you to easily run FFmpeg/FFprobe commands in applications. It provides additional features on top of FFmpeg to enable platform-specific resources, control how commands are executed and how the results are handled. There are eight different ffmpeg-kit packages distributed on Github, Maven Central, CocoaPods, pub and npm. Below you can see which system libraries and external libraries are enabled in each one of them.

ffmpeg.wasm is a pure WebAssembly (and JavaScript/TypeScript) port of FFmpeg that enables in-browser media recording, conversion, and streaming—letting developers perform video/audio processing entirely client-side without server uploads. Transpiled via Emscripten from FFmpeg and its codecs into WebAssembly. Supports both single-threaded and multi-threaded cores using web workers. Written in TypeScript for improved developer experience.

libavif is a portable, open-source C library that implements encoding and decoding for the AVIF (AV1 Image File Format), offering a robust, production-ready way to work with AVIF images across platforms. It supports all AV1-supported YUV formats and bit-depths, including alpha (transparency), and includes command-line tools (avifenc and avifdec) to easily convert to/from AVIF from common image formats like JPEG, PNG, or Y4M. The API is straightforward, allowing applications to integrate AVIF support natively — creating, decoding, compressing, or decompressing images programmatically. Recent developments have added experimental support for HDR gain maps, improved color-space handling (including wide color gamut and high bit depth), and better quality tuning modes for encoding, making libavif a cutting-edge tool for high-quality image compression.

A complete, cross-platform solution to record, convert and stream audio and video. FFmpeg is a collection of libraries and tools to process multimedia content such as audio, video, subtitles, and related metadata. Provides an implementation of a wider range of codecs.

Provides means to alter decoded audio and video through a directed graph of connected filters. Provides an abstraction to access capture and playback devices. Implements audio mixing and resampling routines. Implements color conversion and scaling routines. FFmpeg is a command-line toolbox to manipulate, convert and stream multimedia content. ffplay is a minimalistic multimedia player. FFmpeg codebase is mainly LGPL-licensed with optional components licensed under GPL.
