Hello,

First over all, thanks a lot for sharing your code, ffmpeg-cpp is really a nice idea, and works already very well (including on Linux).

My purpose is to (at least I expect to) first understand and simply use your very nice API in another software (see https://framagit.org/ericb/miniDart ), as a part of the final software (big factorization and layout redesign in progress, but not yet published). And I'll very probably use your lib, for several reasons:

• I'm impressed by the way filter are handled. This is really black magic (filters are the worst source code documentation ever in ffmpeg)
• light (and fast !)
• I'm not satified of OpenCV video recording, nor reliable and somewhere fully buggy, and difficult to use for recording.
• your API seems extremely well designed (maybe some parts are missing, but easy to understand and use)
• I'd like to remux sound from several sources (using SDL2 for the sources), and currently only ffmpeg, or lib555 are a correct answer for the final muxing.

Other change : I do not like Github (being tracked for everything by Microsoft and more, + some other reasons) I preferred fork your code somewhere else. See: https://framagit.org/ericb/ffmpeg-cpp2 .

If something is missing, please tell me, and I'll add the information.

Of course, feel free to ask if something could be reversed to your project. For example, I started to implement the recording from a webcam (mjpeg). Even if it is currently sub-optimal, it works well, and the only missing part is to display colored frames + record in a file (I'm exactly stuck there : how to record color channels btw ?).

Current WIP : understand more precisely the fileSink, inputstream and output handling.

Last but not least, and as I wrote in another issue, I completed the Linux build and everything seems to work. Currently, all the changes are under GPL V3 license, to protect my work, but that's not a problem for me to reverse some part under LGPL on demand (be carefull : I modified the tree, more easy on Linux). I forgot : miniDart is by default cross compiled on Linux, for Windows. I don"t use the last in the mood API, but I promise it works on Windows too.
