This approach has the major advantage that only parsing can fail (due to a malformed specifier or memory allocation failure). Since parsing is done generically, while matching is per-option, this will allow to remove substantial amounts of error checking code in following commits. The new code also explicitly allows stream specifiers to be followed by additional characters, which should allow cleaner handling of optional maps, i.e. -map <stream_specifier>?, which is currently implemented in a hacky way that breaks when the stream specifier itself contains the '?' character (this can happen when matching metadata). It will also allow further extending the syntax, which will be useful in following commits. This introduces some minor behaviour changes: * Matching metadata tags now requires the ':' character in keys or values to be escaped. Previously it could not be present in keys, and would be used verbatim in values. The change is required in order to know where the value terminates. * Multiple stream types in a single specifier are now rejected - such a specifier makes no sense. * Non-existent stream group ID or index is now ignored with a warning rather than causing a failure. This is consistent with program handling and is required to make matching fail-free. |

FFmpeg README
FFmpeg is a collection of libraries and tools to process multimedia content such as audio, video, subtitles and related metadata.
Libraries
libavcodec
provides implementation of a wider range of codecs.libavformat
implements streaming protocols, container formats and basic I/O access.libavutil
includes hashers, decompressors and miscellaneous utility functions.libavfilter
provides means to alter decoded audio and video through a directed graph of connected filters.libavdevice
provides an abstraction to access capture and playback devices.libswresample
implements audio mixing and resampling routines.libswscale
implements color conversion and scaling routines.
Tools
- ffmpeg is a command line toolbox to manipulate, convert and stream multimedia content.
- ffplay is a minimalistic multimedia player.
