What is GPAC?

GPAC

So, let’s talk about GPAC. This software is super handy for students and content creators. It’s a cross-platform multimedia framework that developers can use to create open-source media. And guess what? It operates under the LGPL license, which is pretty cool!

Compatibility with Various File Types

One of the best parts about GPAC is its compatibility with a ton of popular file types. Whether you're working with common formats like AVI, MPEG, and MOV or diving into more complex ones like MPEG-4 Systems or VRML/X3D, GPAC has got you covered! Oh, and if you're into 360 movies, it handles those too.

Key Features You’ll Love

This framework comes packed with awesome features. For starters, it supports local playback and adaptive HTTP streaming through MPEG-DASH and HLS. Plus, it can demux TCP and TS files from either your computer or DVB4Linux. And if you need local progressive downloads? Yep, it does that too!

The Complete Package

When you get the full package of GPAC, you’re not just getting the core software. You also get access to several useful plugins! These include:

• MPEG-4 BIFs (scene decoder)


• MPEG-4 ODF (object descriptor decoder)


• MPEG-4 LASeR (scene decoder)


• MPEG-4 SAF demultiplexer


• Textual MPEG-4 loader (supports uncompressed MPEG-4 BT and XMT)


• An image package that works with PNG, JPEG, BMP, JPEG2000 formats

Setup Made Easy

You can also set up the GPAC player and MP4Box command-line multimedia packager for all sorts of media tasks. Need MPEG-2 TS multiplexing? There's MP4TS for that! Want to encode using DASH? Check out DashCast offline!

If you're looking to develop your own modules based on GPAC tech, you'll find the GPAC SDK includes all the libraries and headers you need. There’s even playback support via ActiveX through GPAX! Plus, there's MP4Client—also known as Osmo4—which acts as a command-line player and AVI dumper.

The best part? You can choose which components to install based on your needs!
