This project started as a fork of ypresto/android-transcoder. With respect to the source project, which misses most of the functionality listed above, we have also fixed a huge number of bugs and are much less conservative when choosing options that might not be supported. The source project will always throw - for example, accepting only 16:9, AVC Baseline Profile videos - we prefer to try and let the codec fail if it wants to.

        .addDataSource(filePath) // or...
        .addDataSource(fileDescriptor) // or...
        .addDataSource(dataSource)
        .setListener(new TranscoderListener() {
             public void onTranscodeProgress(double progress) {}
             public void onTranscodeCompleted(int successCode) {}
             public void onTranscodeCanceled() {}
             public void onTranscodeFailed(@NonNull Throwable exception) {}
        }).transcode()
