Overview of this book

Multimedia applications are used by a range of industries to enhance the visual appeal of a product. This book will teach the reader how to perform multimedia processing using Python. This step-by-step guide gives you hands-on experience for developing exciting multimedia applications using Python. This book will help you to build applications for processing images, creating 2D animations and processing audio and video. Writing applications that work with images, videos, and other sensory effects is great. Not every application gets to make full use of audio/visual effects, but a certain amount of multimedia makes any application a lot more appealing. There are numerous multimedia libraries for which Python bindings are available. These libraries enable working with different kinds of media, such as images, audio, video, games, and so on. This book introduces the reader to the most widely used open source libraries through several exciting, real world projects. Popular multimedia frameworks and libraries such as GStreamer,Pyglet, QT Phonon, and Python Imaging library are used to develop various multimedia applications.

Installation prerequisites


Since we are going to use an external multimedia framework, it is necessary to install the packages mentioned in this section.

GStreamer

GStreamer is a popular open source multimedia framework that supports audio/video manipulation of a wide range of multimedia formats. It is written in the C programming language and provides bindings for other programming languages including Python. Several open source projects use GStreamer framework to develop their own multimedia application. Throughout this chapter, we will make use of the GStreamer framework for audio handling. In order to get this working with Python, we need to install both GStreamer and the Python bindings for GStreamer.

Windows platform

The binary distribution of GStreamer is not provided on the project website http://www.gstreamer.net/. Installing it from the source may require considerable effort on the part of Windows users. Fortunately, GStreamer WinBuilds project provides pre-compiled binary distributions...
