In an ongoing endeavour to efficiently fiddle with bits (e.g. see this SO question) the newest challenge is the efficient streaming and consumption of bits. As a first simple task I choose to find...

After careful reading of FFmpeg Bitstream Filters Documentation, I still do not understand what they are really for. The document states that the filter: performs bitstream level modifications ...

I am writing a huffman implementation in Python as a learning exercise. I have got to the point of writing out my variable length huffman codes to a buffer (or file). Only to find there does not se...

Is there a way to parse an HEVC bitstream file? I want to be able to create a new bitstream file having selected nal unit packets selected from the original bitstream file. Edit: I inserted my code...

I'm thinking about writing some data into a bit stream using C. There are two ways come in mind. One is to concatenate variable bit-length symbols into a contiguous bit sequence, but in this way my...

I want to read as many 24 bit chunks as possible from a file. How can I do this using bitstrings' ConstBitStream when I don't now how many chunks there are? Currently I do this: eventList = Const...
