deffcode VS vidgear

Vidgear and new deffcode library are my best. I bet you don't know none of them. But they're pretty awesome when it comes to video-processing and stuff.

DeFFcode is a cross-platform High-performance Video Frames Decoder that flexibly executes FFmpeg pipeline inside a subprocess pipe for generating real-time, low-overhead, lightning fast video frames with robust error-handling in just a few lines of python code.

Currently FFdecoder API's support for WriteGear API is still in beta and can cause very high CPU usage(even through the given example will work without any errors). Kindly use OpenCV's VideoWriter Class until this issue is resolved. However, this will change in upcoming commits as I'm already working on it. Kindly watch DeFFcode GitHub Repository to get updates instantly. Good luck!

My experience that played out over the last few weeks lead me to a similar belief, somewhat. For rather uninteresting reasons I decided I wanted to create mp4 videos of an animation programmatically, from scratch.

The first solution suggested when googling around is to just create all the frames, save them to disk, and then let ffmpeg do its thing from there. I would have just gone with that for a one-off task, but it seems like a pretty bad solution if the video is long, or high res, or both. Plus, what I really wanted was to build something more "scalable/flexible".

Maybe I didn't know the right keywords to search for, but there really didn't seem to be many options for creating frames, piping them straight to an encoder, and writing just the final video file to disk. The only one I found that seemed like it could maybe do it the way I had in mind was VidGear[1] (Python). I had figured that with the popularity of streaming, and video in general on the web, there would be so much more tooling for these sorts of things.

I ended up digging way deeper into this than I had intended, and built myself something on top of Membrane[2] (Elixir)

I've been googling and reading for a while but I'm very unsure about which tools I need, which tools will help me achieve what I want the easiest way. What about (pylivestream)[https://pypi.org/project/pylivestream/] for example? Will this do the job for me? What about a lower level approach including (pyopencv)[https://pypi.org/project/opencv-python/]? What about a higher level approach using (vidgear)[https://github.com/abhiTronix/vidgear], which seems promising but I don't feel confident in assessing if it's the tool I really need?

Yes, fortunately I already resolved it in my previous(popular) library called vidgearthrough its WriteGear API: https://abhitronix.github.io/vidgear/latest/gears/writegear/compression/overview/
