Field Documentation

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.

Definition at line 3607 of file avcodec.h.

Referenced by avcodec_find_decoder_by_name(), avcodec_find_encoder_by_name(), avcodec_get_name(), avcodec_open2(), avcodec_string(), choose_pixel_fmt(), choose_sample_fmt(), compute_status(), context_to_name(), dshow_cycle_formats(), ffserver_opt_preset(), find_codec_or_die(), init(), main(), mpeg12_class(), print_codec(), print_codecs(), print_codecs_for_id(), print_stream_params(), read_ffserver_streams(), show_codecs(), test_copy(), test_copy_print_codec(), and video_decode().

const char* AVCodec::long_name

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.

uint8_t AVCodec::max_lowres

maximum value for lowres supported by the decoder, no direct access, use av_codec_get_max_lowres()

Referenced by av_codec_get_max_lowres(), and avcodec_open2().

const AVClass* AVCodec::priv_class

array of recognized profiles, or NULL if unknown, array is terminated by {FF_PROFILE_UNKNOWN}

int AVCodec::priv_data_size
struct AVCodec* AVCodec::next
int(* AVCodec::init_thread_copy)(AVCodecContext *)

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.

Definition at line 3647 of file avcodec.h.

Referenced by ff_frame_thread_init().

int(* AVCodec::update_thread_context)(AVCodecContext *dst, const AVCodecContext *src)

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.

const AVCodecDefault* AVCodec::defaults

void(* AVCodec::init_static_data)(struct AVCodec *codec)

int(* AVCodec::encode2)(AVCodecContext *avctx, AVPacket *avpkt, const AVFrame *frame, int *got_packet_ptr)

Encode data to an AVPacket.

Parameters
avctxcodec context
avpktoutput AVPacket (may contain a user-provided buffer)
[in]frameAVFrame containing the raw data to be encoded
[out]got_packet_ptrencoder sets to 0 or 1 to indicate that a non-empty packet was returned in avpkt.
Returns
0 on success, negative error code on failure

int(* AVCodec::send_frame)(AVCodecContext *avctx, const AVFrame *frame)

Decode/encode API with decoupled packet/frame dataflow.

The API is the same as the avcodec_ prefixed APIs (avcodec_send_frame() etc.), except that:

  • never called if the codec is closed or the wrong type,
  • AVPacket parameter change side data is applied right before calling AVCodec->send_packet,
  • if AV_CODEC_CAP_DELAY is not set, drain packets or frames are never sent,
  • only one drain packet is ever passed down (until the next flush()),
  • a drain AVPacket is always NULL (no need to check for avpkt->size).
