Java ffmpeg wrapper jave

Java ffmpeg wrapper

In the last months we did some major enhancements in the jave library which can be used from java to analyze/convert audio and video files with the use of ffmpeg.

The project homepage can be found here https://github.com/a-schild/jave2

The main changes as to the original package are:
- Support for Windwos 32+64 bit
- Support for Linux 32+64 bit
- Support for OS-X 64bit
- Upgraded to ffmpeg 4.x (From 3.x)
- Enhanced output parsing
- Added options for running the encoding/decoding as a separate thread
- Added to maven central for simpler usage
- Many smaller enhancements

The project was initially started by Carlo Pelliccia at http://www.sauronsoftware.it/projects/jave/

Video encoding with Java

After some reasearch for a good performing java library to do different video conversions, we stumbled over many projects.

On closer inspection we found that most of them are old projects, with no one maintainig them any longer.

We finaly got to the jave project which did what we needed.
Unfortunally it is based on a old version of ffmpeg, which has some problems depending on the input/output formats used.

So we did upgrade the binaries, adapted the parsing code and added a few new features to the library.
After some time trying to contact the original author to push back the changes upstream, we descided to create a new project which is maintained by us.

We named this Jave2, to show the difference to the original jave probject.
The project is hosted on github, you can find it here.
