Sean Reid updated GUACAMOLE-465:
--------------------------------
Description:
Currently, guacenc writes raw mpeg4 frames into a file and gives it a file
extension of m4v. While this works for that specific codec and container
combination, adding more advanced codecs will require better container support.
FFMpeg provides a library, libavformat, that provides true container support.
libavformat should be added as a dependency to guacenc and the current file
writing code should be refactored to leverage libavformat. These changes will
facilitate future work on adding new codec support to guacenc.
was:
Guacenc should support more formats than just mpeg4 in an m4v file type. It
should support true media containers with libavformat rather than just writing
the encoded frames into a file.
Because Guacamole is a web-based application, it makes sense that at the very
least its video encoder should support common web video formats (h.264 + mp4).
Summary: Guacenc should support libavformat (was: Guacenc should
support more formats and containers)
