Using FFmpeg in .net?

Solution 1:

The original question is now more than 5 years old. In the meantime there is now a solution for a WinRT solution from ffmpeg and an integration sample from Microsoft.

Solution 2:

a few other managed wrappers for you to check out

• FFMpeg.NET
• FFMpeg-Sharp

Writing your own interop wrappers can be a time-consuming and difficult process in .NET. There are some advantages to writing a C++ library for the interop - particularly as it allows you to greatly simplify the interface that the C# code. However, if you are only needing a subset of the library, it might make your life easier to just do the interop in C#.

Solution 3:

You can use this nuget package:

Install-Package Xabe.FFmpeg

I'm trying to make easy to use, cross-platform FFmpeg wrapper.
