What's FFVCL and What's FFmpeg?


FFVCL is a native VCL components suit including Video Converter and Video Player which wrap FFmpeg library perfectly. FFVCL is more easy, more flexible and more powerful than the official FFmpeg command line tool for converting and playing audio and video files.

FFmpeg is a complete solution to record, convert and stream audio and video. It includes libavcodec, the leading audio/video codec library. FFmpeg is developed under Linux, but it can compiled under most operating systems, including Windows.


Relation between FFVCL and FFmpeg


Because FFVCL is a direct wrapper of FFmpeg's libavcodec APIs, it is able to reflect the power of FFmpeg library. And it is more flexible and more powerful than the official FFmpeg command line tool. At the same time, FFVCL is very easy to use. Therefore, FFVCL is better than FFmpeg tool in some measure.
