Hardware-accelerated video frame extraction for Apple Silicon

High-performance video frame extraction for Apple Silicon

---

• Hardware-accelerated extraction using AVFoundation/VideoToolbox
• MLX native with direct BGRA frame copy to mx.array
• Lightweight bindings using nanobind and GIL release
• Pythonic interface with simple iterators and context managers

Getting started

import viteo

# Simple iteration with context manager
with viteo.open("video.mp4") as frames:
    for frame in frames:
        # frame is MLX array (height, width, 4) BGRA format
        process(frame)

# Direct extraction
extractor = viteo.FrameExtractor("video.mp4")
for frame in extractor:
    process(frame)
