Data Fields

const char * name
 Name of the codec implementation.
enum AVMediaType type
enum CodecID id
int priv_data_size
int(* init )(AVCodecContext *)
int(* encode )(AVCodecContext *, uint8_t *buf, int buf_size, void *data)
int(* close )(AVCodecContext *)
int(* decode )(AVCodecContext *, void *outdata, int *outdata_size, AVPacket *avpkt)
int capabilities
 Codec capabilities.
struct AVCodecnext
void(* flush )(AVCodecContext *)
 Flush buffers.
const AVRationalsupported_framerates
 array of supported framerates, or NULL if any, array is terminated by {0,0}
Frame-level threading support functions
array of supported pixel formats, or NULL if unknown, array is terminated by -1

Descriptive name for the codec, meant to be more human readable than name. You should use the NULL_IF_CONFIG_SMALL() macro to define it. array of supported audio samplerates, or NULL if unknown, array is terminated by 0 array of supported sample formats, or NULL if unknown, array is terminated by -1 array of support channel layouts, or NULL if unknown. array is terminated by 0 maximum value for lowres supported by the decoder AVClass for the private context array of recognized profiles, or NULL if unknown, array is terminated by {FF_PROFILE_UNKNOWN}

int(* init_thread_copy )(AVCodecContext *)
 If defined, called on thread contexts when they are created.
int(* update_thread_context )(AVCodecContext *dst, const AVCodecContext *src)
 Copy necessary context variables from a previous thread context to the current one.

Field Documentation

int(* AVCodec::decode)(AVCodecContext *, void *outdata, int *outdata_size, AVPacket *avpkt)

int(* AVCodec::encode)(AVCodecContext *, uint8_t *buf, int buf_size, void *data)

Flush buffers.

Will be called when seeking

Referenced by avcodec_flush_buffers(), and ff_thread_flush().

If defined, called on thread contexts when they are created.

If the codec allocates writable tables in init(), re-allocate them here. priv_data will be set to a copy of the original.

Referenced by frame_thread_init().

const char* AVCodec::name

Name of the codec implementation.

The name is globally unique among encoders and among decoders (but an encoder and a decoder can share the same name). This is the primary way to find a codec from the user perspective.

struct AVCodec* AVCodec::next [read]

array of supported framerates, or NULL if any, array is terminated by {0,0}

Definition at line 2763 of file avcodec.h.

Referenced by transcode().

Copy necessary context variables from a previous thread context to the current one.

If not defined, the next thread will start automatically; otherwise, the codec must call ff_thread_finish_setup().

dst and src will (rarely) point to the same context, in which case memcpy should be skipped.

Referenced by ff_thread_get_buffer(), frame_worker_thread(), and update_context_from_thread().
