#define AV_PIX_FMT_FLAG_BE   (1 << 0)
#define AV_PIX_FMT_FLAG_PAL   (1 << 1)
#define AV_PIX_FMT_FLAG_BITSTREAM   (1 << 2)

All values of a component are bit-wise packed end to end.

#define AV_PIX_FMT_FLAG_RGB   (1 << 5)
#define AV_PIX_FMT_FLAG_PSEUDOPAL   (1 << 6)

The pixel format is "pseudo-paletted".

This means that it contains a fixed palette in the 2nd plane but the palette is fixed/constant for each PIX_FMT. This allows interpreting the data as if it was PAL8, which can in some cases be simpler. Or the data can be interpreted purely based on the pixel format without using the palette. An example of a pseudo-paletted format is AV_PIX_FMT_GRAY8

#define AV_PIX_FMT_FLAG_ALPHA   (1 << 7)

The pixel format has an alpha channel.

This is set on all formats that support alpha in some way. The exception is AV_PIX_FMT_PAL8, which can carry alpha as part of the palette. Details are explained in the AVPixelFormat enum, and are also encoded in the corresponding AVPixFmtDescriptor.

The alpha is always straight, never pre-multiplied.

If a codec or a filter does not support alpha, it should set all alpha to opaque, or use the equivalent pixel formats without alpha component, e.g. AV_PIX_FMT_RGB0 (or AV_PIX_FMT_RGB24 etc.) instead of AV_PIX_FMT_RGBA.

enum AVPixelFormat av_get_pix_fmt ( const char *  name)

Return the pixel format corresponding to name.

If there is no pixel format with name name, then looks for a pixel format with the name corresponding to the native endian format of name. For example in a little-endian system, first looks for "gray16", then for "gray16le".

Finally if no pixel format has been found, returns AV_PIX_FMT_NONE.

int av_get_pix_fmt_loss ( enum AVPixelFormat  dst_pix_fmt,
enum AVPixelFormat  src_pix_fmt,
int  has_alpha 
)

Compute what kind of losses will occur when converting from one specific pixel format to another.

When converting from one pixel format to another, information loss may occur. For example, when converting from RGB24 to GRAY, the color information will be lost. Similarly, other losses occur when converting from some formats to other formats. These losses can involve loss of chroma, but also loss of resolution, loss of color depth, loss due to the color space conversion, loss of the alpha bits or loss due to color quantization. av_get_fix_fmt_loss() informs you about the various types of losses which will occur when converting from one pixel format to another.

Parameters
[in]dst_pix_fmtdestination pixel format
[in]src_pix_fmtsource pixel format
[in]has_alphaWhether the source pixel format alpha channel is used.
Returns
Combination of flags informing you what kind of losses will occur (maximum loss for an invalid dst_pix_fmt).
