Overview

Plugin.Maui.VideoPipeline is the video counterpart to MediaPipeline. Pick from camera or gallery, then apply MaxDuration, MaxResolution, and MaxBytes. Over-budget clips try an OS transcode (Android MediaCodec, iOS AVAssetExportSession). If the device cannot encode, the result is CannotTranscode. No FFmpeg. Encrypt(key) writes an AES-256-GCM .vault file. Handoff through UploadWith or StoreIn. Android, iOS, Mac Catalyst, and Windows.
