# Media::Convert(3pm)

a Moose-based library to work with media assets

## NAME

Media::Convert - a Moose-based library to work with media assets

## SYNOPSIS

```
  use Media::Convert::Asset;
  use Media::Convert::Pipe;
  my $input = Media::Convert::Asset->new(url => $input_filename);
  say "Input video codec is " . $input->video_codec;
  my $output = Media::Convert::Asset->new(url => "output.mkv", video_codec => "libvpx", audio_codec => "vorbis");
  my $pipe = Media::Convert::Pipe => new(inputs => [$input], output => $output);
  $pipe->run;
```

## DESCRIPTION

Media::Convert is a library that allows one to inspect and work with (edit, convert, transcode) media files. Behind the scenes, Media::Convert generates and runs ffmpeg/ffprobe command lines to perform the requested operations.

Media::Convert was originally a part of the SReview web-based video review and transcoding tool, but it was split off for being useful enough in its own right.

Media::Convert uses semver as explained at \<https://semver.org\>
