public abstract class VideoIO

Low level video encoding and decoding using the platform’s native codecs. VideoIO is to video what com.codename1.ui.util.ImageIO is to still images, but goes deeper: it can enumerate the codecs the device actually supports, encode application rendered frames and audio into a standard container (VideoWriter), and decode an existing clip into frame accurate RGBA frames and PCM audio (VideoReader).

It is supported on iOS, macOS, Android, Windows, Linux, JavaScript and the desktop simulator. It is not available on the TV, Watch or Car targets. As with other optional platform features, always gate usage with #isSupported():

if (VideoIO.isSupported()) {
    VideoIO io = VideoIO.getVideoIO();
    // ... encode / decode
}

Encoding

Configure a VideoWriterBuilder, build a VideoWriter, push frames and audio, then close it. Every frame is an ordinary com.codename1.ui.Image, so the application has full control over the pixels.

Decoding

#openReader(String) returns a VideoReader exposing duration, dimensions and frame rate, frame accurate VideoReader#frameAt(long), a variable to constant frame rate resampler VideoReader#readFrames(float, com.codename1.media.VideoReader.FrameCallback) and the audio track as PCM via VideoReader#readAudio().
