Check out libffmpeg. It should be accessible using python by various means,
including gstreamer or ctypes.

This is however a rather advanced topic.

I think you might want make an ffmpeg/libffmpeg python wrap. It could
be really useful, and faster than a pure python decoder. Even for fun.

You can start by getting familiar with ffmpeg [1] by playing with it
and glance at its libraries (I call them libffmpeg, but they have
their specific name) allow you to do. Keep in mind that libraries
contain frequently used functions and are written so they can be
reused, shared by other/news softwares eg. the one you want. Start by
opening a flash video eg one .flv [2] file from youtube with a first
python script that use the right component(s) of libffmpeg. Python
allows you to use C libraries.

hmm i am more interested in .swf format and more specifically i would like
to have all the pixel values of all the frames can i do that using this
library?
Not with ffmpeg. You can check out the code from Gnash [1] or Swfdec
[2] or start you swf decoder from scratch using Adobe specification
[3] on the swf format.

Happy coding !

It even already exists. There is a binary interface that is
maintained alongside pyglet:

http://code.google.com/p/avbin/

and then ctypes wrapper for that interface in pyglet:

http://code.google.com/p/pyglet/sour...glet/media/avb
in.py
http://www.pyglet.org/doc/programmin...and_video.html

I haven't used either one, but it's where I would start.

I'm having trouble understanding the MIME::Decoder usage. Within the context of a MIME email handling program I have an array, @data, and I want to uuencode it. I thought I could instantiate a MIME::Decoder with an encoding of 'x-uuencode' and then call the encode method as, my $decoder = new MIME::Decoder('x-uuencode'); $decoder->encode(@data, @uudata); However, the encode method only accepts STREAMs as arguments. Obviously I
