Using FFmpeg

MCAV allows users to run FFmpeg commands directly the API. You can get the FFmpeg binary by using the FFmpegExecutableProvider#getFFmpegPath() method, which returns the path to the FFmpeg binary. You can then use it to run FFmpeg commands using the ProcessBuilder class in Java.

Some FFmpeg commands are provided by MCAV in the FFmpegTemplates class, which are useful for basic, trivial tasks such as extracting audio from a video, or converting a video to a different format.

  final FFmpegCommand command = FFmpegTemplates.extractAudio("video.mp4", "vorbis", "audio.ogg");
  // mess with the command if needed
  command.execute();
