Dear Soylenters: What is a good programming language for doing custom processing/manipulation of digital video frames and digital audio data? The language/IDE shouldn't be too hard to setup or learn. It would be a plus if it executes reasonably fast. The language should allow easy reading & writing of video and audio files in common formats without requiring a commercial multimedia plugin or component. It would be nice if the language is available on both Windows and Mac OS.

Thanks in advance for any help or pointers,

    There's no real setup at all, it runs on every platform, it's designed primarily for graphics work, so modifying frames is easy. I used it a few years ago to render the frames for a game trailer and save the directly to an MP4 file. I didn't do audio in that project, but I once used it for realtime guitar distortion. If I can do it, anyone can.
