C code or compiler built-ins are preferable over inline assembler for byte-swaps as it allows for better optimisations (e.g. instruction scheduling) which would otherwise be impossible. As with f64c2e710fa1a7b59753224e717f57c48462076f for x86 and Arm, this removes the inline assembler on GCC (and Clang) since we now require recent enough compiler versions. This indeed seems to work on AArch64, SuperH and, if Zbb is enabled, RISC-V. (AVR32 was not tested since it has no known working compilers at this time.)
FFmpeg README
FFmpeg is a collection of libraries and tools to process multimedia content such as audio, video, subtitles and related metadata.
Libraries
libavcodecprovides implementation of a wider range of codecs.libavformatimplements streaming protocols, container formats and basic I/O access.libavutilincludes hashers, decompressors and miscellaneous utility functions.libavfilterprovides means to alter decoded audio and video through a directed graph of connected filters.libavdeviceprovides an abstraction to access capture and playback devices.libswresampleimplements audio mixing and resampling routines.libswscaleimplements color conversion and scaling routines.
Tools
- ffmpeg is a command line toolbox to manipulate, convert and stream multimedia content.
- ffplay is a minimalistic multimedia player.
- ffprobe is a simple analysis tool to inspect multimedia content.
- Additional small tools such as
aviocat,ismindexandqt-faststart.
