Go bindings for Xvid (libxvidcore) 1.3.X
Run with environment variable GODEBUG=cgocheck=0
.
The API is well-documented in its
A decoder and encoder as well as convert example are available in examples/
(must be run from the repo main directory, with GODEBUG=cgocheck=0
).
You can also check the library source code and the Xvid source code (please open an issue if the library lacks documentation for your use case).
Some tests run locally, not used in production environments yet.
The API could be slightly changed in backwards-incompatible ways for now.
Disclaimer: IANAL/TINLA
TL;DR go-xvid is MIT-licensed, but if you build and redistribute the binaries of a program that uses xvid through go-xvid you must redistribute it as GPLv2.
The go-xvid source code files themselves do not copy or use any significant part of libxvidcore. By themselves the source code files are MIT-licensed as stated in the LICENSE file and solely belong to the copyright owners listed in the LICENSE files.
A piece of software that uses (statically links to) the go-xvid bindings will probably link (dynamically) to libxvidcore. If that is the case, and the program is to be redistributed, then per the GPLv2 license, that piece of software must be redistributed under the GPLv2 license (which includes distributing the source code of the program). (Actually under a license that is compatible with GPLv2, but there are almost none.)
Note that if you build a program that links against libxvidcore but you do not redistribute it (typically you use it as part of a server backend), you can use libxvidcore and go-xvid, even for commercial use, without sharing the source code of your program.
