class av.codec.codec.Codec

Bases: object

A single encoding or decoding codec.

This object exposes information about an availible codec, and an avenue to create a CodecContext to encode/decode directly.

>>> codec = Codec('mpeg4', 'r')
>>> codec.name
'mpeg4'
>>> codec.type
'video'
>>> codec.is_encoder
False

close(bool strict=True)

codec

static create(codec, mode=None)

decode(Packet packet=None, unsigned int count=0, bool prefer_send_recv=True)

Decode a list of Frame from the given Packet.

If the packet is None, the buffers will be flushed. This is useful if you do not want the library to automatically re-order frames for you (if they are encoded with a codec that has B-frames).

encode(Frame frame=None, unsigned int count=0, bool prefer_send_recv=True)

Encode a list of Packet from the given Frame.
