NAME

       libavcodec - media streams decoding and encoding library

DESCRIPTION

       The libavcodec library provides a generic encoding/decoding framework and contains
       multiple decoders and encoders for audio, video and subtitle streams, and several
       bitstream filters.

       The shared architecture provides various services ranging from bit stream I/O to DSP
       optimizations, and makes it suitable for implementing robust and fast codecs as well as
       for experimentation.
