Solid FFmpeg wrapper for C#/.NET

Question

I have been searching the web for some time for a solid FFmpeg wrapper for C#/.NET. But I have yet to come up with something useful. I have found the following three projects, but all of them apears to be dead in early alpha stage.

FFmpeg.NET
ffmpeg-sharp
FFLIB.NET

So my question is if anyone knows of a wrapper project that is more mature?
I am not looking for a full transcoding engine with job queues and more. Just a simple wrapper so I do not have to make a command line call and then parse the console output, but can make method calls and use eventlisteners for progress.

And please feel free to mention any active projects, even if they are stil in the early stages.

Answer 1

I'm playing around with an ffmpeg wrapper library called MediaHandler Pro from

http://www.mediasoftpro.com

seems promising so far.

Answer 2

I forked FFPMEG.net from codeplex.

Still actively being worked on.

https://github.com/spoiledtechie/FFMpeg.Net

It doesn't use the dlls, but rather the exe. So it tends to be more stable.

Answer 3

There is another simple one here: http://ivolo.mit.edu/post/Metamorph-Convert-Audio-Video-to-Any-Format-on-Windows-Linux-and-Mac.aspx

Answer 4

I have used FFmpeg from a ASP.NET / Windows service (.NET) application. But I ended up using the command-line, without parsing the console. By using this - I had an easy way to control - updates of FFmpeg and running multiple conversions on multiple Cores.

Answer 5

See Auto Generated FFmpeg wrapper for C#/.NET and Mono, an awesome project which seems like the only true, complete .NET wrapper for FFmpeg interop out there.

Answer 6

This is a wrapper of my own: https://github.com/AydinAdn/MediaToolkit

MediaToolkit can:

• Convert video files into various other video formats.
• Perform video transcoding tasks.
  • Options configurable: Bit rate, Frame rate, Resolution / size, Aspect ratio, Duration of video
• Perform audio transcoding tasks.
  • Options configurable: Audio sample rate
• Convert video to physical formats using FILM, PAL or NTSC tv standards
  • Mediums include: DVD, DV, DV50, VCD, SVCD

I'm updating it as I go along, and you're welcome to use it, you can also install it using the Package Manager Console.
