mcap-codec-support

High-performance decoder and encoder factories for robotics data in MCAP files. It supports regular ROS2 CDR messages, H.264/H.265/VP9/AV1 video, and Cloudini/Draco point clouds.

Install all decoding backends:

uv add "mcap-codec-support[all]"

The base package contains shared protocols and schema helpers and imports without loading any codec backend. Install only the capability needed:

Extra Enables
ros2 Fast generic ROS 2 CDR decoding
video Video/image codecs and VideoDecompressFactory
pointcloud Cloudini point-cloud codecs and decoder factories
draco Draco point-cloud codecs
all Combined decoder factory and every backend

Video, point-cloud, and Draco extras remain separate because their compiled dependencies account for most of the download and installed footprint.

Read every supported message type with small-mcap:

from mcap_codec_support import create_decoder_factories
from small_mcap import read_message_decoded

with open("input.mcap", "rb") as stream:
    messages = read_message_decoded(
        stream,
        decoder_factories=create_decoder_factories(video_format="raw"),
    )
    for message in messages:
        print(message.channel.topic, message.decoded_message)

video_format="raw" produces ROS2 Image-shaped dictionaries. video_format="compressed" produces JPEG CompressedImage-shaped dictionaries. Compressed point clouds are returned as PointCloud2-shaped dictionaries. All other ROS2 messages use the fast CDR decoder.

For more control, compose the individual VideoDecompressFactory, PointCloudDecompressFactory, and ROS2 DecoderFactory instances yourself. Keep specialized factories before the general ROS2 factory.
