Encode/Decode without putting/taking from a file #21

Hello,

Do you have a way to encode and decode without having the data in a file. I am trying to send the encoded byte data over a network. I have the bitmap data stored in a ImageData but dont know how to move on from there.

Thanks

I have a similar issue, I am reading raw camera output in RaspberryPI using MMALSharp library and want to read frames in Bitmap format for further processing.

Currently, only local files and decoding from a web URL are supported, but I want to implement the following features in the future:

decoding video from RTSP streams and capturing devices (webcams)
writing encoded video to a System.IO.Stream object
streaming video using FFmpeg avio

@Dzoge Why do you want to use FFMediaToolkit to get frames from Raspberry PI camera? You should use an existing OutputCaptureHandler from MMALSharp or write a new one to get the bitmaps for processing.
