VideoPress components

• FFmpeg

  VideoPress uses the ffmpeg command line tool as well as libavcodec and libavformat from the FFmpeg project to convert video files from multiple source formats into an MPEG-4 Part 14 container with H.264 video and AAC audio as well as an Ogg container with Theora video and Vorbis audio. The FFmpeg project handles much of the heavy lifting between demuxers, decoders, encoders and muxers to deliver quality video.

• libx264

  We use the x264 library to encode H.264 video tracks.

• FAAC

  We use the FAAC library to encode AAC audio tracks.

• ffmpeg2theora

  The ffmpeg2theora command line utility helps VideoPress deliver consistent packaging in the Ogg container format with Theora video encoding and Vorbis audio encoding.

• Ogg

  The libogg library muxes video, audio, and metadata tracks into the Ogg container files used by VideoPress.

• Theora

  VideoPress encodes video using the latest version of Theora video encoding libraries code-named “Thusnelda.”

• Vorbis

  The Vorbis audio library encodes audio for the Ogg container format.

• qt-faststart

  We rearrange boxes inside our MP4 files thanks to Mike Melanson‘s qt-faststart utility.
