Detailed Description

Basic definitions, functions for querying libavcodec capabilities, allocating core structures, etc.

Macro Definition Documentation

#define AV_CODEC_PROP_INTRA_ONLY   (1 << 0)

Codec uses only intra compression.

Video codecs only.

Definition at line 501 of file avcodec.h.

Referenced by is_intra_only(), and show_codecs().

#define AV_CODEC_PROP_LOSSY   (1 << 1)

Codec supports lossy compression.

Audio and video codecs only.

Note
a codec may support both lossy and lossless compression modes

Definition at line 507 of file avcodec.h.

Referenced by show_codecs().

#define AV_CODEC_PROP_LOSSLESS   (1 << 2)

Codec supports lossless compression.

Audio and video codecs only.

Definition at line 511 of file avcodec.h.

Referenced by show_codecs().

#define AV_CODEC_PROP_REORDER   (1 << 3)

Codec supports frame reordering.

That is, the coded order (the order in which the encoded packets are output by the encoders / stored / input to the decoders) may be different from the presentation order of the corresponding frames.

For codecs that do not have this property set, PTS and DTS should always be equal.

Definition at line 521 of file avcodec.h.

#define FF_MAX_B_FRAMES   16
Deprecated:
there is no libavcodec-wide limit on the number of B-frames

Definition at line 598 of file avcodec.h.

#define CODEC_FLAG_UNALIGNED   0x0001

Allow decoders to produce frames with data planes that are not aligned to CPU requirements (e.g.

due to cropping).

Definition at line 610 of file avcodec.h.

#define CODEC_CAP_DELAY   0x0020

Encoder or decoder requires flushing with NULL input at the end in order to give the complete and correct output.

NOTE: If this flag is not set, the codec is guaranteed to never be fed with with NULL data. The user can still send NULL data to the public encode or decode function, but libavcodec will not pass it along to the codec unless this flag is set.

Decoders: The decoder has a non-zero delay and needs to be fed with avpkt->data=NULL, avpkt->size=0 at the end to get the delayed data until the decoder no longer returns frames.

Encoders: The encoder needs to be fed with NULL data at the end of encoding until the encoder no longer returns data.

NOTE: For encoders implementing the AVCodec.encode2() function, setting this flag also means that the encoder must set the pts and duration for each output packet. If this flag is not set, the pts and duration will be determined by libavcodec from the input frame.

#define CODEC_CAP_SUBFRAMES   0x0100

Codec can output multiple frames per AVPacket Normally demuxers return one frame at a time, demuxers which do not do are connected to a parser to split what they return into proper frames.

This flag is reserved to the very rare category of codecs which have a bitstream that cannot be split into frames without timeconsuming operations like full decoding. Demuxers carring such bitstreams thus may return multiple frames in a packet. This has many disadvantages like prohibiting stream copy in many cases thus it should only be considered as a last resort.

Enumeration Type Documentation

enum AVCodecID

Identify the syntax and semantics of the bitstream.

The principle is roughly: Two decoders with the same ID can decode the same streams. Two encoders with the same ID can encode compatible streams. There may be slight deviations from the principle due to implementation details.

If you add a codec ID to this list, add it so that

  1. no value of a existing codec ID changes (that would break ABI),
  2. it is as close as possible to similar codecs.

After adding new codec IDs, do not forget to add an entry to the codec descriptor list and bump libavcodec minor version.

Function Documentation

AVCodec* av_codec_next ( const AVCodec c)

If c is NULL, returns the first registered codec, if c is non-NULL, returns the next registered codec after c, or NULL if c is the last one.

Definition at line 75 of file utils.c.

Referenced by codec_child_class_next(), and next_codec_for_id().

unsigned avcodec_version ( void  )

Return the LIBAVCODEC_VERSION_INT constant.

Definition at line 1992 of file utils.c.

const char* avcodec_configuration ( void  )

Return the libavcodec build-time configuration.

Definition at line 1997 of file utils.c.

const char* avcodec_license ( void  )

Return the libavcodec license.

Definition at line 2002 of file utils.c.

void avcodec_register ( AVCodec codec)

Register the codec codec and initialize libavcodec.

Warning
either this function or avcodec_register_all() must be called before any other libavcodec functions.
See also
avcodec_register_all()

Definition at line 105 of file utils.c.

void avcodec_register_all ( void  )

Register all the codecs, parsers and bitstream filters which were enabled at configuration time.

If you do not call this function you can select exactly which formats you want to support, by using the individual registration functions.

avcodec_register
av_register_codec_parser

Definition at line 68 of file allcodecs.c.

AVCodecContext* avcodec_alloc_context3 ( const AVCodec codec)

Allocate an AVCodecContext and set its fields to default values.

The resulting struct should be freed with avcodec_free_context().

Parameters
codecif non-NULL, allocate private data and initialize defaults for the given codec. It is illegal to then call avcodec_open2() with a different codec. If NULL, then the codec-specific defaults won't be initialized, which may result in suboptimal default settings (this is important mainly for encoders, e.g. libx264).
Returns
An AVCodecContext filled with default values or NULL on failure.

void avcodec_free_context ( AVCodecContext **  avctx)

Free the codec context and everything associated with it and write NULL to the provided pointer.

Definition at line 139 of file options.c.

Referenced by avconv_cleanup(), and mp3_read_probe().

int avcodec_get_context_defaults3 ( AVCodecContext s,
const AVCodec codec 
)

Set the fields of the given AVCodecContext to default values corresponding to the given codec (defaults may be codec-dependent).

Do not call this function if a non-NULL codec has been passed to avcodec_alloc_context3() that allocated this AVCodecContext. If codec is non-NULL, it is illegal to call avcodec_open2() with a different codec on this AVCodecContext.

Definition at line 80 of file options.c.

Referenced by avcodec_alloc_context3().

const AVClass* avcodec_get_class ( void  )

Get the AVClass for AVCodecContext.

It can be used in combination with AV_OPT_SEARCH_FAKE_OBJ for examining options.

av_opt_find().

int avcodec_copy_context ( AVCodecContext dest,
const AVCodecContext src 
)

Copy the settings of the source AVCodecContext into the destination AVCodecContext.

The resulting destination codec context will be unopened, i.e. you are required to call avcodec_open2() before you can use this AVCodecContext to decode/encode video/audio data.

Parameters
desttarget codec context, should be initialized with avcodec_alloc_context3(), but otherwise uninitialized
srcsource codec context
Returns
AVERROR() on error (e.g. memory allocation error), 0 on success

int avcodec_open2 ( AVCodecContext avctx,
const AVCodec codec,
AVDictionary **  options 
)

Initialize the AVCodecContext to use the given AVCodec.

Prior to using this function the context has to be allocated with avcodec_alloc_context3().

The functions avcodec_find_decoder_by_name(), avcodec_find_encoder_by_name(), avcodec_find_decoder() and avcodec_find_encoder() provide an easy way for retrieving a codec.

Warning
This function is not thread safe!
1 avcodec_register_all();
2 av_dict_set(&opts, "b", "2.5M", 0);
3 codec = avcodec_find_decoder(AV_CODEC_ID_H264);
4 if (!codec)
5  exit(1);
6 
7 context = avcodec_alloc_context3(codec);
8 
9 if (avcodec_open2(context, codec, opts) < 0)
10  exit(1);
Parameters
avctxThe context to initialize.
codecThe codec to open this context for. If a non-NULL codec has been previously passed to avcodec_alloc_context3() or avcodec_get_context_defaults3() for this context, then this parameter MUST be either NULL or equal to the previously passed codec.
optionsA dictionary filled with AVCodecContext and codec-private options. On return this object will be filled with options that were not found.
Returns
zero on success, a negative value on error

int avcodec_close ( AVCodecContext avctx)

Close a given AVCodecContext and free all the data associated with it (but not the AVCodecContext itself).

Calling this function on an AVCodecContext that hasn't been opened will free the codec-specific data allocated in avcodec_alloc_context3() / avcodec_get_context_defaults3() with a non-NULL codec. Subsequent calls will do nothing.
