  • Using libav*

    v6 v7  
    11FFmpeg itself is composed of several subcomponents that can be used individually, and outside of FFmpeg, for instance in your own program.  These are 
    2 * libavformat which contains muxer information and capabilities. 
     2* libavformat which contains muxer and de-muxer information and capabilities. 
    33* libavcodec which contains all the (built-in) video encoding and decoding codecs that FFmpeg contains. 
    44* libswscale contains the (raw pixel) format conversions, and also high speed/assembly optimized versions of certain scaling routines. 
    5 * libavfilter contains the filters FFmpeg contains, like adjusting audio sample rate, etc.* libavutil ?? 
     5* libavfilter contains the filters FFmpeg contains, like adjusting audio sample rate, etc. 
    66* libavdevice contains interfaces for working with "local devices" for instance webcams in windows, line-in audio in linux, etc. 
    77* libpostproc ?? 
    88* libswresample audio conversion routines (?) 
    99* libavresample audio conversion routines (?) 
     10* libavutil "contains the code shared across all the other FFmpeg libraries" so isn't used by itself, that I know of.

    1718In general, you must have the appropriate library compiled/available on your machine (for instance, if using packages, something like libswscale-dev must be installed, or configure, build, and install FFmpeg yourself using the --enable-shared configure option), then you include the appropriate header file in your C code, then link against that library's linker file, like "gcc input.c -lswscale" or the like during the linker phase.
