[Libav-user] Keeping all frames in mp4 with h264 codec

Hi Arthur,

after real frames are handled did you call avcodec_encode_video2 with NULL as frame as many times as got_packet returns true?

Depending on codec you have to "flush" encoder several times, until all frames have gone to output.

First of all, thanks to Max and Salsaman for the responses. I truly appreciate it.
>As long as I remember I solved a similar problem after providing the last frame of the sequence by calling avcodec_encode_video2  with frame parameter being NULL in a loop while got_packet returns true.
Max,
I am passing a NULL frame after calling calling avcodec_encode_video2  for all my 36 frames. But I only pass the NULL frame once, when I’m done, to make sure everything that has not been flushed is actually flushed.
>Also, just a guess but 18 is half of 36. Is it possible you need to set some interlacing option ?
Salsaman,
I have to admit my knowledge of this is very limited. But this is what I know:
1) I am sending down 36 non-trivial frames, plus one NULL frame, for a total of 37 frames.
2) After sending down the first 18 frames by calling avcodec_encode_video2 the value of got_packet is 0 for all of them.
3) When sending frames 19-36, the value of got_packet is 1.
4) When displaying my video, the only images I see are the first 18. I know this for a fact because the images are very similar, but each has a label with a time stamp 0, 10, 20, etc. So I know which ones are missing. Interestingly enough, the missing ones are the ones for which got_packet=1 (!).
If the issue is “interlacing”, can somebody suggest what I need to do in my code to try to correct this?
Thanks.
-Arthur
