  Decoding | |
| Encoding | |
| Codecs | |
| Native Codecs | |
| External library wrappers | |
 Hardware Accelerators bridge | |
| Internal | |
| Deprecated codec flags | Use corresponding private codec options instead |
| VDPAU Decoder and Renderer | VDPAU hardware acceleration has two modules |
| VA API Decoding | |
| VDPAU Decoding | |
| Special devices muxing/demuxing library | Libavdevice is a complementary library to libavformat |
| I/O and Muxing/Demuxing Library | Libavformat (lavf) is a library for dealing with various media container formats |
| Demuxing | Demuxers read a media file and split it into chunks of data (packets) |
| Muxing | |
| I/O Read/Write | |
| Demuxers | |
| Native Demuxers | |
| External library wrappers | |
| I/O Protocols | |
| Internal | |
| Public Metadata API | The metadata API allows libavformat to export metadata tags to a client application when demuxing |
| Core functions | Functions for querying libavformat capabilities, allocating core structures, etc |
 Utility functions | Miscelaneous utility functions related to both muxing and demuxing (or neither) |
 RIFF FourCCs | Get the tables mapping RIFF FourCCs to libavcodec CodecIDs |
| Common utility functions | Libavutil contains the code shared across all the other Libav libraries |
| Crypto and Hashing | |
| AES | |
| Base64 | |
| LZO | |
| MD5 | |
| SHA | |
| Maths | |
| String Manipulation | |
| Memory Management | |
| Data Structures | |
| AVOptions | AVOptions provide a generic system to declare options on arbitrary structs ("objects") |
| Evaluating option strings | This group of functions can be used to evaluate option strings and get numbers out of them |
| Option setting functions | Those functions set the field of obj with the given name to value |
| Option getting functions | Those functions get a value of the option with the given name from an object |
| AVDictionary | Simple key:value store |
| AVTree | Low complexity tree container |
| Audio related | |
| Audio channel masks | |
| Audio channel convenience macros | |
| Error Codes | |
| Other | |
| Internal | Not exported functions, for internal usage only |
| Preprocessor String Macros | String manipulation macros |
| Library Version Macros | Useful to check and match library version in order to maintain backward compatibility |
| Version and Build diagnostics | Macros and function useful to check at compiletime and at runtime which version of libavutil is in use |
| Deprecation guards | Those FF_API_* defines are not part of public API |
| Constants | |
| Encoding specific | |
| Timestamp specific | Libav internal timebase and timestamp definitions |
| Image related | AVPicture types, pixel formats and basic image planes manipulation |
| Media Type | Media Type |
| VDA_Decoding |
