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.
