Libav is an open-source software project that was originally a fork of FFmpeg, and was created by a group of developers that felt the focus of the project should be the refinement of the existing code, not the implementation of more features.

It is made up of an extensive collection of libraries, as well as audio and video processing tools that can be operated from the command line and integrated into various applications by developers.

Libav includes a large number of libraries, such as libavcodec, which contains all Libav media encoders and decoders, libavformat, which contains demuxers and muxers for audio or video container formats, libavfilter, libavresample and libavutil.

A series of command line tools are included, which can be used to convert files, grab content from a live video or audio source, stream or play media, as well as gather information from multimedia streams. These are avconv, avserver, avplay and avprobe.

Of course, the downloadable package does not include any compiled binaries, so the utility needs to be configured and installed from the command console.

All the built-in media tools are also controlled from the command-line interface, and you can consult the extensive documentation available on the project's homepage if you want to get a better idea of what can be done with Libav.

Libav is a community-driven and multi-platform software package designed to provide app developers and end-users with the necessary framework for encoding, decoding, manipulating and streaming a wide range of multimedia formats and protocols.

Moreover, Libav offers support for pretty much all of the existing file formats and includes a comprehensive array of video and audio processing tools.
