Video converter component for C#/.NET (wrapper for ffmpeg command line tool). Can convert video/audio files, transcode live streams, extract video thumbnails, apply watermarks to video, screen capture etc - everything that is possible with ffmpeg from the command line. Supports .NET streams for input/output (encode/decode without tmp files).

NReco.VideoConverter nuget can be used for free in non-SaaS apps that have only one single-server production deployment. This nuget package includes ffmpeg.exe (it is extracted on the first use automatically - you don't need to deploy ffmpeg separately) and therefore can be used only on Windows. For cross-platform deployments NReco.VideoConverter.LT nuget should be used instead.

How to use:

var ffmpeg = new NReco.VideoConverter.FFMpegConverter();
ffmpeg.ConvertMedia("input.avi",null,"output.mp4",null,new ConvertSettings());

v.1.2.0 changes:
- added netstandard2.0 build: now NReco.VideoConverter nuget (includes ffmpeg.exe) can be used in NET6/NET7/.NET Core apps with free offering! (Windows deployments only)
- ffmpeg.exe updated to the latest stable release 5.1.2 (x64 "essentials" build from https://www.gyan.dev/ffmpeg/builds/)
- now relative paths (both for input/output) are resolved in respect to the current working directory, not to ffmpeg location (FFMpegToolPath)

v.1.1.4 changes:
- FFMpeg updated to v.4.2.1
- added GetVideoThumbnail overloads that accept ConvertSettings (to pass any custom ffmpeg options)
