Description

Feedback request

With torchaudio's recent success in getting a clean FFMPEG build with a full support for FFMPEG 5 and 6 (something we can't replicate in torchvision easily yet), we are thinking of adopting their API and joining efforts to have a better support for video reading.

With that in mind, we were hoping to gather a some feedback from TV users who rely on video reader (or would like to use it but find it hard to do so):

  1. What are your main pain points with our current API?
  2. What do you wish was supported?
  3. What are the most important features of a video IO for you?

We can't promise we'll support everything (of course), but we'd love to gather as much feedback as possible and get as much of it incorporated as possible.

Research direction

Start by reviewing torchvision's current video-reader API and the torchaudio API referenced in the issue. Gather the requested user feedback on pain points, desired support, and key video I/O features; done means producing a decided, actionable scope rather than an implementation patch.
