Video Converter library
pip install PythonVideoConverter==1.0.3
Video Converter is a Python 3 (>= 3.7) module for converting video files from one format and codec to another.
It uses the FFmpeg multimedia framework for actual file processing, and adds an easy-to-use API for probing and converting media files on top of it.
from converter import Converter
conv = Converter()
info = conv.probe('test/test1.avi')
convert = conv.convert('test/test1.avi', 'test/test1.mp4', {
'format': 'mp4',
'audio': {
'codec': 'aac',
'samplerate': 11025,
'channels': 2
},
'video': {
'codec': 'hevc',
'width': 720,
'height': 400,
'fps': 25
}})
for timecode in convert:
print(f'\rConverting ({timecode:.2f}) ...')
There's a fair amount of documentation in doc/
directory.
To generate it from Sphinx sources, use:
python3.7 setup.py doc
and then visit doc/_build/html/index.html
.
To run the automated tests:
python3.7 setup.py test
The test suite assumes you already have the required ffmpeg
and ffprobe
tools installed on your system.
To install the package:
python3.7 setup.py install
Note that this only installs the Python Video Converter library. The ffmpeg
and ffprobe
tools should be installed on the system separately, with all the
codec and format support you require.
If you need to compile and install the tools manually, have a look at the
example script test/install-ffmpeg.sh
(used for automated test suite). It may
or may not be useful for your requirements, so don't just blindly run it -
check that it does what you need first.
