- * MediaOutput - High-level media output handler.
+ * High-level media output for writing and muxing media files.
  *
- * Creates and manages media containers for writing encoded streams.
- * Automatically handles format setup and stream configuration.
- *
- * Manages the FormatContext and provides convenient methods for
- * adding streams, writing packets, and finalizing output.
+ * Provides simplified access to media muxing and file writing operations.
+ * Handles stream configuration, packet writing, and format management.
+ * Supports files, URLs, and custom I/O with automatic cleanup.
+ * Essential component for media encoding pipelines and transcoding.
  *
  * @example
  * ```typescript
- * import { MediaOutput, Encoder } from 'node-av/api';
+ * import { MediaOutput } from 'node-av/api';
  *
- * // Open output file
- * const output = await MediaOutput.open('output.mp4');
+ * // Create output file
+ * await using output = await MediaOutput.open('output.mp4');
  *
- * // Add encoder stream
- * const encoder = await Encoder.create('libx264', {
- *   width: 1920,
- *   height: 1080,
- *   pixelFormat: AV_PIX_FMT_YUV420P
- * });
- * const streamIdx = output.addStream(encoder);
+ * // Add streams from encoders
+ * const videoIdx = output.addStream(videoEncoder);
+ * const audioIdx = output.addStream(audioEncoder);
  *
- * // Write header, packets, trailer
+ * // Write header
  * await output.writeHeader();
- * await output.writePacket(packet, streamIdx);
+ *
+ * // Write packets
+ * await output.writePacket(packet, videoIdx);
+ *
+ * // Write trailer and close
  * await output.writeTrailer();
- * await output.close();
  * ```
  *
  * @example
  * ```typescript
- * // Stream copy without re-encoding
- * const input = await MediaInput.open('input.mp4');
- * const output = await MediaOutput.open('output.mkv');
- *
- * const videoStream = input.video();
- * const streamIdx = output.addStream(videoStream);
