What is CodecMedia?

CodecMedia is a Java 17+ media utility library focused on:

• probing media/container technical information
• validating files with optional strict parser checks
• metadata sidecar read/write (.codecmedia.properties)
• audio extraction workflows
• conversion routing (including Java image-to-image conversion)
• playback workflow simulation (dry-run + optional desktop open)

Primary entrypoint is CodecMedia.createDefault() which returns a CodecMediaEngine implementation.
