Audio Video Decoding Saving Software Development Kit (AVDS SDK)

AVDS SDK contains the following elements:

• six DLL (dynamic-link libraries) files
• one LIB file
• one C header file (AVDS.h) which must be included in your application
• documentation (developer manual)
• C and C++ source code of sample applications for:
• audio decoding
• video decoding
• audio and video decoding
• audio and video saving

In particular, AVDS SDK supports the following containers (this is not the full list):

• AVI
• MKV
• MP4
• TS (MPEG-2 Transport Stream)
• PS (MPEG-2 Program Stream)
• MOV
• YUV (raw)
• ES (Elementary Streams, like .264)

And, AVDS SDK supports the following video codecs (this is not the full list):

• H.264/AVC (also called MPEG-4 Part 10 or MPEG-4/AVC)
• MPEG-4 Part 2 (like Xvid)
• MPEG-2
• WMV
• Motion-JPEG
• Uncompressed

At last, AVDS SDK supports the following audio codecs (this is not the full list):

• MPEG-1/2 Layer III (MP3)
• AAC
• WMA
• AMR
• PCM
• Uncompressed

The following pixel formats are supported:

• YUV 4:2:0 planar (YV12)
• YUV 4:2:2 packed UYVY
• YUV 4:2:2 packed YUYV
• YUV 4:2:2 packed YVYU
• YUV 4:4:4 YUVA
• RGB32
• BGR32
• Y component only

The following audio sample formats are supported:

• signed 16 bits
• signed 32 bits
• float
• double

AVDS SDK's functions are designed to be simple to use.

For video decoding, AVDS SDK is frame-accurate. Open a file and just ask for frame number N. AVDS SDK will decode it and return its decoded pixel values.

For audio decoding, AVDS SDK is sample-accurate. Open a file and just ask for the audio samples between audio sample number M and audio sample number N. AVDS SDK will decode the audio and return the decoded audio samples you asked.

For video saving, AVDS SDK is simple to use too. Create a file and just add the frames one after the other. When you've finished, just close the file.
