Description

  • Look into if https://github.com/kkroening/ffmpeg-python has Python code similar to slicer.py
  • Check if there are other similar Python ffmpeg bindings
  • If so, refactor slicer.py to reduce our lines of code by using any Python ffmpeg bindings as a dependency

Contributor guide

Research direction
Investigate ffmpeg python bindings (e.g., kkroening/ffmpeg python) and compare their API with slicer.py's current implementation. Evaluate if using such a binding reduces code lines and maintainability.
