pyvidcorrupt

pyvidcorrupt is a small installable package for generating corrupted video outputs by either replacing random bytes or shifting random byte values.

Install

pip install -e .

CLI usage

pyvidcorrupt video.mp4 --mode shift --iterations 10
python -m pyvidcorrupt video.mp4 --mode random --iterations 5 --output-dir output

Python usage

from pyvidcorrupt import VideoMod, run_iterations

video_mod = VideoMod(bit_flip_count=1000, output_dir="output")
video_mod.assign_vid("video.mp4")
video_mod.shift_vid()

run_iterations("video.mp4", iterations=10, mode="random")

Notes

• --mode shift applies left or right bit shifting to random byte positions.
• --mode random replaces random byte positions with random byte values.
• --chain uses each generated output as the next iteration's input.
