Libav

This module is meant to be a simple wrapper for the Libav audio and video processing tools. It provides media conversion and handling functionality through actions accessible via the Rules and/or VBO modules.

Features

• Calculate audio/video duration (in seconds)
• Create a thumbnail image from a video at a specified time offset
• Audio and Video conversion
• Rules and VBO integration

Requirements

• The avconv executable should be installed and accessible on your web server.
• Support for additional codecs / file formats may require external libraries to be compiled into your avconv executable.
• Some way to expose the actions on the site (ex: Administration Views)

Consult your server administrator or hosting provider if you are unsure about these requirements.
