I want to write my own media converter application using ffmpeg. I have a couple of questions
Can I use a command line to make the conversion. I don’t think that would work if the user hasn’t installed ffmpeg on to his system. If that’s the case, how’d I overcome it. I don’t believe their API has anything for media conversion.
Is it possible to write it in Java?
You can provide an ffmeg binary with your application, and use the ProcessBuilder and/or Runtime class to invoke it. You would need a different binary for each OS you intend to target though.
