The shared architecture provides various services ranging from bit stream I/O to DSP optimizations, and makes it suitable for implementing robust and fast codecs as well as for experimentation. @c man end DESCRIPTION @chapter See Also @ifhtml @url{ffmpeg.html,ffmpeg}, @url{ffplay.html,ffplay}, @url{ffprobe.html,ffprobe}, @url{ffmpeg-codecs.html,ffmpeg-codecs}, @url{ffmpeg-bitstream-filters.html,bitstream-filters}, @url{libavutil.html,libavutil} @end ifhtml @ifnothtml ffmpeg(1), ffplay(1), ffprobe(1), ffmpeg-codecs(1), ffmpeg-bitstream-filters(1), libavutil(3) @end ifnothtml @include authors.texi @ignore @setfilename libavcodec @settitle media streams decoding and encoding library @end ignore @bye
