[Libav-user] Would anyone find an OS X / Cocoa / Swift wrapper for Libav useful?

Brad, I'm a bit confused. An Apple-specific audio/video API already exists:
AVFoundation. It is Objective-C based, and is capable of performing general
purpose audiovisual tasks. It is also documented fairly well, certainly
more so than ffmpeg/libav. I use it in my apps to write MOV files instead
of ffmpeg because I can be guaranteed the MOVs written will be compatible
with the rest of Apple's products. Have you given AVFoundation a try? Is
portability critical? Why stress over ffmpeg when you've got AVFoundation?
