Request to provide basic code example for video conversion/compression #106

Closed AlessandroMartinelli closed 2 years ago

AlessandroMartinelli commented 2 years ago

Hi, could you please provide a short code example on how to use this library to compress a video (e.g. mp4) with some given parameters?

As of now you've provided examples as how to extract frames and/or informations from a video and how to create a video from image frames. But FFmpeg basic usage is just to convert/compress a video.

Thanks! Alessandro

FFMediaToolkit doesn't use FFmpeg tool itself, but its low-level API, which provides direct access to video frames. For video conversion I recommend using a FFmpeg command-line wrapper library such as Xabe.FFmpeg. It would be more reliable and easier to setup.

Understood, thank you very much for pointing me in the right direction.
