Definition at line 969 of file avcodec.h.

Referenced by print_codec().

#define AV_CODEC_CAP_DELAY   (1 << 5)

Encoder or decoder requires flushing with NULL input at the end in order to give the complete and correct output.

NOTE: If this flag is not set, the codec is guaranteed to never be fed with with NULL data. The user can still send NULL data to the public encode or decode function, but libavcodec will not pass it along to the codec unless this flag is set.

Decoders: The decoder has a non-zero delay and needs to be fed with avpkt->data=NULL, avpkt->size=0 at the end to get the delayed data until the decoder no longer returns frames.

Encoders: The encoder needs to be fed with NULL data at the end of encoding until the encoder no longer returns data.

NOTE: For encoders implementing the AVCodec.encode2() function, setting this flag also means that the encoder must set the pts and duration for each output packet. If this flag is not set, the pts and duration will be determined by libavcodec from the input frame.

Examples:
transcoding.c.

#define AV_CODEC_CAP_SMALL_LAST_FRAME   (1 << 6)

Codec can be fed a final frame with a smaller size.

This can be used to prevent truncation of the last audio samples.

Definition at line 998 of file avcodec.h.

Referenced by avcodec_encode_audio2(), and print_codec().

#define AV_CODEC_CAP_SUBFRAMES   (1 << 8)

Codec can output multiple frames per AVPacket Normally demuxers return one frame at a time, demuxers which do not do are connected to a parser to split what they return into proper frames.

This flag is reserved to the very rare category of codecs which have a bitstream that cannot be split into frames without timeconsuming operations like full decoding. Demuxers carrying such bitstreams thus may return multiple frames in a packet. This has many disadvantages like prohibiting stream copy in many cases thus it should only be considered as a last resort.

Definition at line 1011 of file avcodec.h.

Referenced by print_codec().

#define AV_CODEC_CAP_EXPERIMENTAL   (1 << 9)

Codec is experimental and is thus avoided in favor of non experimental encoders.

#define AV_CODEC_CAP_AVOID_PROBING   (1 << 17)

Decoder is not a preferred choice for probing.

This indicates that the decoder is not a good choice for probing. It could for example be an expensive to spin up hardware decoder, or it could simply not provide a lot of useful information about the stream. A decoder marked with this flag should only be used as last resort choice for probing.

#define AV_CODEC_CAP_HARDWARE   (1 << 18)

Typically used to identify a non-hwaccel hardware decoder. For information about hwaccels, use avcodec_get_hw_config() instead.

Enumeration Type Documentation

enum AVCodecID

Identify the syntax and semantics of the bitstream.

The principle is roughly: Two decoders with the same ID can decode the same streams. Two encoders with the same ID can encode compatible streams. There may be slight deviations from the principle due to implementation details.

If you add a codec ID to this list, add it so that

  1. no value of an existing codec ID changes (that would break ABI),
  2. it is as close as possible to similar codecs

After adding new codec IDs, do not forget to add an entry to the codec descriptor list and bump libavcodec minor version.

AV_CODEC_HW_CONFIG_METHOD_HW_DEVICE_CTX 

The codec supports this format via the hw_device_ctx interface.

When selecting this format, AVCodecContext.hw_device_ctx should have been set to a device of the specified type before calling avcodec_open2().

AV_CODEC_HW_CONFIG_METHOD_HW_FRAMES_CTX 

The codec supports this format via the hw_frames_ctx interface.

When selecting this format for a decoder, AVCodecContext.hw_frames_ctx should be set to a suitable frames context inside the get_format() callback. The frames context must have been created on a device of the specified type.

AV_CODEC_HW_CONFIG_METHOD_INTERNAL 

The codec supports this format by some internal method.

This format can be selected without any additional configuration - no device or frames context is required.

AV_CODEC_HW_CONFIG_METHOD_AD_HOC 

The codec supports this format by some ad-hoc method.

Additional settings and/or function calls are required. See the codec-specific documentation for details. (Methods requiring this sort of configuration are deprecated and others should be used in preference.)

AVCodecContext* avcodec_alloc_context3 ( const AVCodec codec)

Allocate an AVCodecContext and set its fields to default values.

The resulting struct should be freed with avcodec_free_context().

Parameters
codecif non-NULL, allocate private data and initialize defaults for the given codec. It is illegal to then call avcodec_open2() with a different codec. If NULL, then the codec-specific defaults won't be initialized, which may result in suboptimal default settings (this is important mainly for encoders, e.g. libx264).
Returns
An AVCodecContext filled with default values or NULL on failure.
Examples:
decode_audio.c, decode_video.c, demuxing_decoding.c, encode_audio.c, encode_video.c, filtering_audio.c, filtering_video.c, hw_decode.c, muxing.c, qsvdec.c, transcode_aac.c, transcoding.c, vaapi_encode.c, and vaapi_transcode.c.

attribute_deprecated int avcodec_copy_context ( AVCodecContext dest,
const AVCodecContext src 
)

Copy the settings of the source AVCodecContext into the destination AVCodecContext.

The resulting destination codec context will be unopened, i.e. you are required to call avcodec_open2() before you can use this AVCodecContext to decode/encode video/audio data.

Parameters
desttarget codec context, should be initialized with avcodec_alloc_context3(NULL), but otherwise uninitialized
srcsource codec context
Returns
AVERROR() on error (e.g. memory allocation error), 0 on success
Deprecated:
The semantics of this function are ill-defined and it should not be used. If you need to transfer the stream parameters from one codec context to another, use an intermediate AVCodecParameters instance and the avcodec_parameters_from_context() / avcodec_parameters_to_context() functions.

int avcodec_open2 ( AVCodecContext avctx,
const AVCodec codec,
AVDictionary **  options 
)

Initialize the AVCodecContext to use the given AVCodec.

Prior to using this function the context has to be allocated with avcodec_alloc_context3().

The functions avcodec_find_decoder_by_name(), avcodec_find_encoder_by_name(), avcodec_find_decoder() and avcodec_find_encoder() provide an easy way for retrieving a codec.

Warning
This function is not thread safe!
Note
Always call this function before using decoding routines (such as avcodec_receive_frame()).
av_dict_set(&opts, "b", "2.5M", 0);
if (!codec)
exit(1);
context = avcodec_alloc_context3(codec);
if (avcodec_open2(context, codec, opts) < 0)
exit(1);
Parameters
avctxThe context to initialize.
codecThe codec to open this context for. If a non-NULL codec has been previously passed to avcodec_alloc_context3() or for this context, then this parameter MUST be either NULL or equal to the previously passed codec.
optionsA dictionary filled with AVCodecContext and codec-private options. On return this object will be filled with options that were not found.
Returns
zero on success, a negative value on error

int avcodec_close ( AVCodecContext avctx)

Close a given AVCodecContext and free all the data associated with it (but not the AVCodecContext itself).

Calling this function on an AVCodecContext that hasn't been opened will free the codec-specific data allocated in avcodec_alloc_context3() with a non-NULL codec. Subsequent calls will do nothing.

Note
Do not use this function. Use avcodec_free_context() to destroy a codec context (either open or closed). Opening and closing a codec context multiple times is not supported anymore – use multiple codec contexts instead.
