+2. License Grants and Conditions
+--------------------------------
+
+2.1. Grants
+
+Each Contributor hereby grants You a world-wide, royalty-free,
+non-exclusive license:
+
+(a) under intellectual property rights (other than patent or trademark)
+    Licensable by such Contributor to use, reproduce, make available,
+    modify, display, perform, distribute, and otherwise exploit its
+    Contributions, either on an unmodified basis, with Modifications, or
+    as part of a Larger Work; and
+
+(b) under Patent Claims of such Contributor to make, use, sell, offer
+    for sale, have made, import, and otherwise transfer either its
+    Contributions or its Contributor Version.
+
+2.2. Effective Date
+
+The licenses granted in Section 2.1 with respect to any Contribution
+become effective for each Contribution on the date the Contributor first
+distributes such Contribution.
+
+2.3. Limitations on Grant Scope
+
+The licenses granted in this Section 2 are the only rights granted under
+this License. No additional rights or licenses will be implied from the
+distribution or licensing of Covered Software under this License.
+Notwithstanding Section 2.1(b) above, no patent license is granted by a
+Contributor:
+
+(a) for any code that a Contributor has removed from Covered Software;
+    or
+
+(b) for infringements caused by: (i) Your and any other third party's
+    modifications of Covered Software, or (ii) the combination of its
+    Contributions with other software (except as part of its Contributor
+    Version); or
+
+(c) under Patent Claims infringed by Covered Software in the absence of
+    its Contributions.
+
+This License does not grant any rights in the trademarks, service marks,
+or logos of any Contributor (except as may be necessary to comply with
+the notice requirements in Section 3.4).
+
+2.4. Subsequent Licenses
+
+No Contributor makes additional grants as a result of Your choice to
+distribute the Covered Software under a subsequent version of this
+License (see Section 10.2) or under the terms of a Secondary License (if
+permitted under the terms of Section 3.3).
+
+2.5. Representation
+
+Each Contributor represents that the Contributor believes its
+Contributions are its original creation(s) or it has sufficient rights
+to grant the rights to its Contributions conveyed by this License.
+
+2.6. Fair Use
+
+This License is not intended to limit any rights You have under
+applicable copyright doctrines of fair use, fair dealing, or other
+equivalents.
+
+2.7. Conditions
+
+Sections 3.1, 3.2, 3.3, and 3.4 are conditions of the licenses granted
+in Section 2.1.
+
+3. Responsibilities
+-------------------
+
+3.1. Distribution of Source Form
+
+All distribution of Covered Software in Source Code Form, including any
+Modifications that You create or to which You contribute, must be under
+the terms of this License. You must inform recipients that the Source
+Code Form of the Covered Software is governed by the terms of this
+License, and how they can obtain a copy of this License. You may not
+attempt to alter or restrict the recipients' rights in the Source Code
+Form.
+
+3.2. Distribution of Executable Form
+
+If You distribute Covered Software in Executable Form then:
+
+(a) such Covered Software must also be made available in Source Code
+    Form, as described in Section 3.1, and You must inform recipients of
+    the Executable Form how they can obtain a copy of such Source Code
+    Form by reasonable means in a timely manner, at a charge no more
+    than the cost of distribution to the recipient; and
+
+(b) You may distribute such Executable Form under the terms of this
+    License, or sublicense it under different terms, provided that the
+    license for the Executable Form does not attempt to limit or alter
+    the recipients' rights in the Source Code Form under this License.
+
+3.3. Distribution of a Larger Work
+
+You may create and distribute a Larger Work under terms of Your choice,
+provided that You also comply with the requirements of this License for
+the Covered Software. If the Larger Work is a combination of Covered
+Software with a work governed by one or more Secondary Licenses, and the
+Covered Software is not Incompatible With Secondary Licenses, this
+License permits You to additionally distribute such Covered Software
+under the terms of such Secondary License(s), so that the recipient of
+the Larger Work may, at their option, further distribute the Covered
+Software under the terms of either this License or such Secondary
+License(s).
+
+3.4. Notices
+
+You may not remove or alter the substance of any license notices
+(including copyright notices, patent notices, disclaimers of warranty,
+or limitations of liability) contained within the Source Code Form of
+the Covered Software, except that You may alter any license notices to
+the extent required to remedy known factual inaccuracies.
+
+3.5. Application of Additional Terms
+
+You may choose to offer, and to charge a fee for, warranty, support,
+indemnity or liability obligations to one or more recipients of Covered
+Software. However, You may do so only on Your own behalf, and not on
+behalf of any Contributor. You must make it absolutely clear that any
+such warranty, support, indemnity, or liability obligation is offered by
+You alone, and You hereby agree to indemnify every Contributor for any
+liability incurred by such Contributor as a result of warranty, support,
+indemnity or liability terms You offer. You may include additional
+disclaimers of warranty and limitations of liability specific to any
+jurisdiction.
+
+4. Inability to Comply Due to Statute or Regulation
+---------------------------------------------------
+
+If it is impossible for You to comply with any of the terms of this
+License with respect to some or all of the Covered Software due to
+statute, judicial order, or regulation then You must: (a) comply with
+the terms of this License to the maximum extent possible; and (b)
+describe the limitations and the code they affect. Such description must
+be placed in a text file included with all distributions of the Covered
+Software under this License. Except to the extent prohibited by statute
+or regulation, such description must be sufficiently detailed for a
+recipient of ordinary skill to be able to understand it.
+
+5. Termination
+--------------
+
+5.1. The rights granted under this License will terminate automatically
+if You fail to comply with any of its terms. However, if You become
+compliant, then the rights granted under this License from a particular
+Contributor are reinstated (a) provisionally, unless and until such
+Contributor explicitly and finally terminates Your grants, and (b) on an
+ongoing basis, if such Contributor fails to notify You of the
+non-compliance by some reasonable means prior to 60 days after You have
+come back into compliance. Moreover, Your grants from a particular
+Contributor are reinstated on an ongoing basis if such Contributor
+notifies You of the non-compliance by some reasonable means, this is the
+first time You have received notice of non-compliance with this License
+from such Contributor, and You become compliant prior to 30 days after
+Your receipt of the notice.
+
+5.2. If You initiate litigation against any entity by asserting a patent
+infringement claim (excluding declaratory judgment actions,
+counter-claims, and cross-claims) alleging that a Contributor Version
+directly or indirectly infringes any patent, then the rights granted to
+You by any and all Contributors for the Covered Software under Section
+2.1 of this License shall terminate.
+
+5.3. In the event of termination under Sections 5.1 or 5.2 above, all
+end user license agreements (excluding distributors and resellers) which
+have been validly granted by You or Your distributors under this License
+prior to termination shall survive termination.

+
+By default, Mediabunny requires a browser environment for full access to decoders, encoders, and video processing features. `@mediabunny/server` uses [NodeAV](https://github.com/seydx/node-av) to polyfill this functionality for server-side environments such as Node, Bun, or Deno, enabling the usage of all Mediabunny features on the server. The result is a server-side media processing API that integrates naturally with TypeScript as opposed to the awkwardness and inefficiencies of calling out to the FFmpeg CLI.
+
+Features added by this package include:
+- Video decoders and encoders for AVC (H.264), HEVC (H.265), VP8, VP9, and AV1. Supports both length-prefixed and Annex B AVC/HEVC as well as transparent video via VP9.
+- Audio decoders and encoders for AAC, MP3, Vorbis, Opus, FLAC, AC-3 and E-AC-3. Supports AAC in both AAC and ADTS formats.
+- Video frame transformation support (resize, rotate, crop)
+- Automatic hardware acceleration on all platforms (macOS, Linux, Windows)
+- Built-in multithreading
+- Zero-copy decode and encode paths
+
+> This package, like the rest of Mediabunny, is enabled by its [sponsors](https://mediabunny.dev/#sponsors) and their donations. If you've derived value from this package, please consider [leaving a donation](https://github.com/sponsors/Vanilagy)! 💘
+
+> This package was made possible in large part due to seydx's amazing work on [NodeAV](https://github.com/seydx/node-av). The library is truly modern, a joy to work with, and incredibly powerful. Give them a star!
+
+## Installation
+
+This library peer-depends on Mediabunny. Install both using npm:
+```bash
+npm install mediabunny @mediabunny/server
+```
+
+## Usage
+
+```ts
+import { registerMediabunnyServer } from '@mediabunny/server';
+registerMediabunnyServer();
+```
+
+That's it - you now have access to the full Mediabunny feature set on the server.
+
+## Upload media compression example
+
+Here, we set up a simple media compression server in Node.js. The client's request body is streamed to Mediabunny, the media gets processed, and the output is streamed directly to the disk. Memory usage is O(1) due to pipelining, and an overly fast uploader is automatically slowed down due to stream backpressure.
+
+```ts
+import { ALL_FORMATS, Conversion, FilePathTarget, Input, Mp4OutputFormat, Output, QUALITY_MEDIUM, ReadableStreamSource } from "mediabunny";
+import { registerMediabunnyServer } from "@mediabunny/server";
+import { Readable } from "node:stream";
+import http from "node:http";
+
+registerMediabunnyServer();
+
+const server = http.createServer(async (req, res) => {
+    // Read the request body as a stream
+    const stream = Readable.toWeb(req) as ReadableStream<Uint8Array>;
+    const input = new Input({
+        source: new ReadableStreamSource(stream),
+        formats: ALL_FORMATS,
+    });
+
+    // Stream the output directly to the disk, could also stream to S3 etc.
+    const output = new Output({
+        format: new Mp4OutputFormat(),
+        target: new FilePathTarget(`./converted-${crypto.randomUUID()}.mp4`),
+    });
+
+    try {
+        const conversion = await Conversion.init({
+            input,
+            output,
+            video: async track => ({
+                codec: 'avc',
+                height: Math.min(720, await track.getDisplayHeight()),
+                bitrate: QUALITY_MEDIUM,
+            }),
+        });
+        await conversion.execute();
+    
+        res.statusCode = 204;
+        res.end();
+    } catch (error) {
+        res.statusCode = 500;
+        res.end();
+
+        console.error("Error processing media:", error);
+    }
+});
+
+server.listen(3000);
+```
+
+For all the other ways to use Mediabunny, refer to its [guide](https://mediabunny.dev/guide/introduction).
+
+## Performance
+
+`@mediabunny/server` is extremely performant as it is a thin wrapper around [NodeAV](https://github.com/seydx/node-av), which itself is a thin wrapper around the FFmpeg C API. All decoders and encoders automatically run on separate threads, keeping the main thread unblocked. Hardware acceleration is automatically detected and utilized on all operating systems whenever available (unless explicitly disabled using `hardwareAcceleration: 'prefer-software'`). Video frame and audio sample data is never copied from FFmpeg unless explicitly requested via `VideoSample.copyTo()` and `AudioSample.copyTo()`, and zero-copy GPU decode -> encode paths are used automatically whenever possible.
+
+## Advanced usage
+
+### Usage with NodeAV
+
+`@mediabunny/server` provides `AvFrameVideoSampleResource` and `AvFrameAudioSampleResource` as a means to create `VideoSample` and `AudioSample` instances that are directly backed by data residing in NodeAV's [`Frame`](https://seydx.github.io/node-av/api/lib/classes/Frame.html) (and therefore FFmpeg's `AVFrame`) without ever having to copy data to or from JavaScript. Reading NodeAV's documentation can help you make full use of this integration.
+
+To convert between Mediabunny and NodeAV (FFmpeg) worlds, you can do this:
+```ts
+import { VideoSample, AudioSample } from 'mediabunny';
+import { AvFrameVideoSampleResource, AvFrameAudioSampleResource, toAvFrame } from '@mediabunny/server';
+
+// Frame -> VideoSample
+new VideoSample(new AvFrameVideoSampleResource(frame), { timestamp });
+
+// Frame -> AudioSample
+new AudioSample(new AvFrameAudioSampleResource(frame));
+// (uses the timestamp in the frame)
+
+// VideoSample -> Frame
+await toAvFrame(videoSample, frame);
+
+// AudioSample -> Frame
+await toAvFrame(audioSample, frame);
+```
+
+#### Electron example
+
+For example, when using Electron, we may want to capture the app's contents without moving video data from the GPU to the CPU:
+```ts
+import { VideoSample } from 'mediabunny';
+import { AvFrameVideoSampleResource } from '@mediabunny/server';
+import { HardwareContext, SharedTexture, AV_HWDEVICE_TYPE_VIDEOTOOLBOX } from 'node-av';
+
+// Create hardware context (platform-specific)
+const hw = HardwareContext.create(AV_HWDEVICE_TYPE_VIDEOTOOLBOX);
+using sharedTexture = SharedTexture.create(hw);
+
+// In Electron paint event with offscreen rendering
+offscreen.webContents.on('paint', (event) => {
+    const texture = event.texture;
+    if (!texture?.textureInfo) {
+        return;
+    }
+
+    // Import as hardware frame (zero-copy)
+    const frame = sharedTexture.importTexture(texture.textureInfo, { pts: 0n });
+    const sample = new VideoSample(new AvFrameVideoSampleResource(frame), {
+        timestamp: 0,
+        duration: 0,
+    });
+
+    texture.release();
+});
+```
+
+#### Microphone recording example
+
+Here, we're using NodeAV's Device API to access the user's microphone:
+```ts
+import { AudioSample } from 'mediabunny';
+import { AvFrameAudioSampleResource } from '@mediabunny/server';
+import { DeviceAPI, Decoder } from 'node-av';
+
+await using mic = await DeviceAPI.openMicrophone();
+const audioStream = mic.audio()!;
+using decoder = await Decoder.create(audioStream);
+
+let firstTimestamp: number | null = null;
+for await (const frame of decoder.frames(mic.packets(audioStream.index))) {
+    if (!frame) {
+        break;
+    }
+
+    const sample = new AudioSample(new AvFrameAudioSampleResource(frame));
+    
+    if (firstTimestamp === null) {
+        firstTimestamp = sample.timestamp;
+    }
+
+    // Offset timestamps so they start at 0
+    sample.setTimestamp(sample.timestamp - firstTimestamp);
+
+    // Do something with the sample now, like passing it to an AudioSampleSource
+    // ...
+}
+```
+
+### Video and audio processing
+
+Browser environments ship with many API goodies such as the Canvas 2D API which are a naturally great fit for doing video frame processing, and they integrate well with Mediabunny. On the server, these APIs don't exist, so other approaches must be used:
+
+#### VideoSample.transform()
+
+This method allows for simple transformations on `VideoSample` instances and works when `@mediabunny/server` has been registered:
+```ts
+const transformed = await sample.transform({
+    width: 640,
+    height: 360,
+    fit: 'cover',
+});
+```
+
+#### NodeAV filter graphs
+
+FFmpeg's `libavfilter` is an incredibly powerful and generic media processing library, and all of it is directly accessible via NodeAV. It works for both video as well as audio data.
+
+For example, here we combine Mediabunny's Conversion API with a filter graph to grayscale a video:
+```ts
+import { Conversion } from 'mediabunny';
+import { AvFrameVideoSampleResource, toAvFrame } from '@mediabunny/server';
+import { Frame, FilterAPI } from 'node-av';
+
+async function* one(f: Frame) { yield f; }
+
+const conversion = await Conversion.init({
+    // ...
+    video: {
+        process: async (sample) => {
+            // VideoSample -> Frame
+            using inFrame = new Frame();
+            inFrame.alloc();
+            await toAvFrame(sample, inFrame);
+
+            // Frame -> filter -> AvFrameVideoSampleResource
+            using filter = FilterAPI.create('format=gray');
+            for await (const outFrame of filter.frames(one(inFrame))) {
+                return outFrame && new AvFrameVideoSampleResource(outFrame);
+            }
+
+            return null;
+        },
+    },
+    // ...
+});
+await conversion.execute();
+```
+
+#### Canvas API polyfills
+
+Libraries like [Skia Canvas](https://github.com/samizdatco/skia-canvas) provide GPU-enabled polyfills for the Canvas 2D API. Using it with Mediabunny is simply a matter of converting from and to the Canvas API:
+```ts
+const width = videoSample.displayWidth;
+const height = videoSample.displayHeight;
+
+const canvas = new Canvas(width, height);
+const ctx = canvas.getContext('2d');
+
+// Copy data from VideoSample
+const imageData = ctx.createImageData(width, height);
+await videoSample.copyTo(imageData.data, { format: 'RGBA' });
+ctx.putImageData(imageData, 0, 0);
+
+// Issue draw commands
+ctx.fillStyle = 'red';
+ctx.fillRect(20, 20, 100, 60);
+
+// Convert to VideoSample again
+const pixels = ctx.getImageData(0, 0, width, height).data;
+return new VideoSample(pixels, {
+    format: 'RGBA',
+    codedWidth: width,
+    codedHeight: height,
+    timestamp: videoSample.timestamp,
+    duration: videoSample.duration,
+});
+```
+
+## Implementation details
+
+`@mediabunny/server` uses [NodeAV](https://github.com/seydx/node-av) under the hood which provides N-API C bindings to FFmpeg's C API. Using NodeAV, this package implements [custom decoders and encoders](https://mediabunny.dev/guide/supported-formats-and-codecs#custom-coders) by directly using the APIs provided by `libavcodec`.
+
+For encoding, video frames and audio samples are transferred to FFmpeg by converting them to an `AVFrame` and are then passed to the correct encoder. The resulting packets are then normalized into the format expected by WebCodecs and the [Mediabunny Codec Registry](https://mediabunny.dev/codec-registry/overview). For decoding, the above process is inverted: packets and decoder metadata are passed to the correct decoder, and the resulting `AVFrame` instances are wrapped in `VideoSample` or `AudioSample` instances. Video frame transformations (resize, rotate, crop) are implemented using the `libavfilter` API.
+
+Whenever possible, `AVFrame`s are never copied over to JavaScript unless explicitly needed. This enables zero-copy decode -> transformation -> encode paths.
