It covers very basic avformat, avcodec and swscale features.
More bindings and cool features are coming soon.

Current master branch requires go 1.3. If you use older version of go, checkout go1.2 branch. (It's not recommended, because this version won't be supported)

build lastest version of ffmpeg, obtained from https://github.com/FFmpeg/FFmpeg
There is one required option, which is disabled by default, you should turn on: --enable-shared

E.g.:

./configure --prefix=/usr/local/ffmpeg --enable-shared
make
make install

Add pkgconfig path:

export PKG_CONFIG_PATH=$PKG_CONFIG_PATH:/usr/local/ffmpeg/lib/pkgconfig/

Ensure, that PKG_CONFIG_PATH contains path to ffmpeg's pkgconfig folder.

# check it by running
pkg-config --libs libavformat

It should print valid path to the avformat library.

Now, just run

go get github.com/3d0c/gmf

This package uses pkg-config way to obtain flags, includes and libraries path, so if you have ffmpeg installed, just ensure, that your installation has them (pkgconfig/ folder with proper pc files).

Please see examples and tests.

If something doesn't work, just fix it. Do not hesitate to pull request.
