Do not use AVParsers, you also must set AVFMT_FLAG_NOFILLIN as the fillin code works on frames and no parsing -> no frames. Also seeking to frames can not work if parsing to find frame boundaries has been disabled.

Enumeration Type Documentation

Enumerator:
AVSTREAM_PARSE_NONE 
AVSTREAM_PARSE_FULL 

full parsing and repack

AVSTREAM_PARSE_HEADERS 

Only parse headers, do not repack.

AVSTREAM_PARSE_TIMESTAMPS 

full parsing and interpolation of timestamps for frames not starting on a packet boundary

AVSTREAM_PARSE_FULL_ONCE 

full parsing and repack of the first frame only, only implemented for H.264 currently

AVSTREAM_PARSE_FULL_RAW 

full parsing and repack with timestamp and position generation by parser for raw this assumes that each packet in the file contains no demuxer level headers and just codec level data, otherwise position generation would fail

Definition at line 583 of file avformat.h.

The duration of a video can be estimated through various ways, and this enum can be used to know how the duration was estimated.

Enumerator:
AVFMT_DURATION_FROM_PTS 

Duration accurately estimated from PTSes.

AVFMT_DURATION_FROM_STREAM 

Duration estimated from a stream with a known duration.

AVFMT_DURATION_FROM_BITRATE 

Duration estimated from bitrate (less accurate)

int av_append_packet ( AVIOContext s,
AVPacket pkt,
int  size 
)

Read data and append it to the current content of the AVPacket.

If pkt->size is 0 this is identical to av_get_packet. Note that this uses av_grow_packet and thus involves a realloc which is inefficient. Thus this function should only be used when there is no reasonable way to know (an upper bound of) the final size.

Parameters
pktpacket
sizeamount of data to read
Returns
>0 (read size) if OK, AVERROR_xxx otherwise, previous data will not be lost even if an error occurs.

enum AVDurationEstimationMethod av_fmt_ctx_get_duration_estimation_method ( const AVFormatContext ctx)

Returns the method used to set ctx->duration.

int avformat_alloc_output_context2 ( AVFormatContext **  ctx,
AVOutputFormat oformat,
const char *  format_name,
const char *  filename 
)

Allocate an AVFormatContext for an output format.

avformat_free_context() can be used to free the context and everything allocated by the framework within it.

Parameters
*ctxis set to the created format context, or to NULL in case of failure
oformatformat to use for allocating the context, if NULL format_name and filename are used instead
format_namethe name of output format to use for allocating the context, if NULL filename is used instead
filenamethe name of the filename to use for allocating the context, may be NULL
Returns
>= 0 in case of success, a negative AVERROR code in case of failure
