  • HandBrake

    HandBrake's main development repository

  • You should ask if you have to create your own compression or if you can use something like FFmpeg or HandBrake. In the later case you can create C bindings or wrapper for these command line programs, and just pick a codec for each media type but be careful because some of them is protected by patents and depending in how you use them the company might have to pay for them.

  • FFmpeg

  • go-fluent-ffmpeg

    A Go implementation of fluent-ffmpeg

  • Looks like these guys implemented ffmpeg in golang. It might be what your looking for. go-fluent-ffmpeg

  • gmf

    Go Media Framework

  • there is only one libav binding that's actively maintained github.com/3d0c/gmf and it leaks memory... a lot. ffmpeg is the right tool for video transcoding but a library that wraps the ffmpeg cli or using os/exec to call it directly will work better.
