Enumeration Type Documentation

Enumerator
AV_PKT_DATA_PALETTE 
AV_PKT_DATA_NEW_EXTRADATA 
AV_PKT_DATA_PARAM_CHANGE 

An AV_PKT_DATA_PARAM_CHANGE side data packet is laid out as follows:

u32le param_flags
s32le channel_count
u64le channel_layout
s32le width
s32le height
AV_PKT_DATA_H263_MB_INFO 

An AV_PKT_DATA_H263_MB_INFO side data packet contains a number of structures with info about macroblocks relevant to splitting the packet into smaller packets on macroblock edges (e.g.

as for RFC 2190). That is, it does not necessarily contain info about all macroblocks, as long as the distance between macroblocks in the info is smaller than the target payload size. Each MB info structure is 12 bytes, and is laid out as follows:

u32le bit offset from the start of the packet
u8 current quantizer at the start of the macroblock
u8 GOB number
u16le macroblock address within the GOB
u8 horizontal MV predictor
u8 vertical MV predictor
u8 horizontal MV predictor for block number 3
u8 vertical MV predictor for block number 3
AV_PKT_DATA_REPLAYGAIN 

This side data should be associated with an audio stream and contains ReplayGain information in form of the AVReplayGain struct.

AV_PKT_DATA_DISPLAYMATRIX 

This side data contains a 3x3 transformation matrix describing an affine transformation that needs to be applied to the decoded video frames for correct presentation.

See libavutil/display.h for a detailed description of the data.

AV_PKT_DATA_STEREO3D 

This side data should be associated with a video stream and contains Stereoscopic 3D information in form of the AVStereo3D struct.

AV_PKT_DATA_AUDIO_SERVICE_TYPE 

This side data should be associated with an audio stream and corresponds to enum AVAudioServiceType.

AV_PKT_DATA_QUALITY_STATS 

This side data contains quality related information from the encoder.

u32le quality factor of the compressed frame. Allowed range is between 1 (good) and FF_LAMBDA_MAX (bad).
u8 picture type
u8 error count
u16 reserved
u64le[error count] sum of squared differences between encoder in and output
AV_PKT_DATA_FALLBACK_TRACK 

This side data contains an integer value representing the stream index of a "fallback" track.

A fallback track indicates an alternate track to use when the current track can not be decoded for some reason. e.g. no decoder available for codec.

AV_PKT_DATA_CPB_PROPERTIES 

This side data corresponds to the AVCPBProperties struct.

AV_PKT_DATA_SKIP_SAMPLES 

Recommmends skipping the specified number of samples.

u32le number of samples to skip from start of this packet
u32le number of samples to skip from end of this packet
u8 reason for start skip
u8 reason for end skip (0=padding silence, 1=convergence)
AV_PKT_DATA_JP_DUALMONO 

An AV_PKT_DATA_JP_DUALMONO side data packet indicates that the packet may contain "dual mono" audio specific to Japanese DTV and if it is true, recommends only the selected channel to be used.

u8 selected channels (0=mail/left, 1=sub/right, 2=both)
AV_PKT_DATA_STRINGS_METADATA 

A list of zero terminated key/value strings.

There is no end marker for the list, so it is required to rely on the side data size to stop.

AV_PKT_DATA_SUBTITLE_POSITION 

Subtitle event position.

u32le x1
u32le y1
u32le x2
u32le y2
AV_PKT_DATA_MATROSKA_BLOCKADDITIONAL 

Data found in BlockAdditional element of matroska container.

There is no end marker for the data, so it is required to rely on the side data size to recognize the end. 8 byte id (as found in BlockAddId) followed by data.

AV_PKT_DATA_WEBVTT_IDENTIFIER 

The optional first identifier line of a WebVTT cue.

AV_PKT_DATA_WEBVTT_SETTINGS 

The optional settings (rendering instructions) that immediately follow the timestamp specifier of a WebVTT cue.

AV_PKT_DATA_METADATA_UPDATE 

A list of zero terminated key/value strings.

There is no end marker for the list, so it is required to rely on the side data size to stop. This side data includes updated metadata which appeared in the stream.

Function Documentation

AVPacket* av_packet_alloc ( void  )

Allocate an AVPacket and set its fields to default values.

The resulting struct must be freed using av_packet_free().

Returns
An AVPacket filled with default values or NULL on failure.
Note
this only allocates the AVPacket itself, not the data buffers. Those must be allocated through other means such as av_new_packet.

av_new_packet

Referenced by av_packet_clone().

AVPacket* av_packet_clone ( AVPacket src)

Create a new packet that references the same data as src.

This is a shortcut for av_packet_alloc()+av_packet_ref().

Returns
newly created AVPacket on success, NULL on error.
See Also
av_packet_alloc
av_packet_ref

Definition at line 583 of file avpacket.c.

void av_packet_free ( AVPacket **  pkt)

Free the packet, if the packet is reference counted, it will be unreferenced first.

Parameters
packetpacket to be freed. The pointer will be set to NULL.
Note
passing NULL is a no-op.

Definition at line 62 of file avpacket.c.

Referenced by av_packet_clone().

void av_init_packet ( AVPacket pkt)

Initialize optional fields of a packet with default values.

Note, this does not touch the data and size members, which have to be initialized separately.

Parameters
pktpacket
Examples:
decoding_encoding.c, demuxing_decoding.c, muxing.c, transcode_aac.c, and transcoding.c.

int av_packet_copy_props ( AVPacket dst,
const AVPacket src 
)

Copy only "properties" fields from src to dst.

Properties for the purpose of this function are all the fields beside those related to the packet data (buf, data, size)

Parameters
dstDestination packet
srcSource packet
Returns
0 on success AVERROR on failure.

void av_packet_rescale_ts ( AVPacket pkt,
AVRational  tb_src,
AVRational  tb_dst 
)

Convert valid timing fields (timestamps / durations) in a packet from one timebase to another.

Timestamps with unknown values (AV_NOPTS_VALUE) will be ignored.

Parameters
pktpacket on which the conversion will be performed
tb_srcsource timebase, in which the timing fields in pkt are expressed
tb_dstdestination timebase, to which the timing fields will be converted
Examples:
muxing.c, and transcoding.c.
