Function Documentation

int av_get_packet ( AVIOContext s,
AVPacket pkt,
int  size 
)

Allocate and read the payload of a packet and initialize its fields with default values.

Parameters
sassociated IO context
pktpacket
sizedesired payload size
Returns
>0 (read size) if OK, AVERROR_xxx otherwise
int av_append_packet ( AVIOContext s,
AVPacket pkt,
int  size 
)

Read data and append it to the current content of the AVPacket.

If pkt->size is 0 this is identical to av_get_packet. Note that this uses av_grow_packet and thus involves a realloc which is inefficient. Thus this function should only be used when there is no reasonable way to know (an upper bound of) the final size.

Parameters
sassociated IO context
pktpacket
sizeamount of data to read
Returns
>0 (read size) if OK, AVERROR_xxx otherwise, previous data will not be lost even if an error occurs.
AVRational av_stream_get_r_frame_rate ( const AVStream s)
void av_stream_set_r_frame_rate ( AVStream s,

)
struct AVCodecParserContext* av_stream_get_parser ( const AVStream s)
int64_t av_stream_get_end_pts ( const AVStream st)

Returns the pts of the last muxed packet + its duration.

the retuned value is undefined when used with a demuxer.

enum AVDurationEstimationMethod av_fmt_ctx_get_duration_estimation_method ( const AVFormatContext ctx)

Returns the method used to set ctx->duration.

Returns
AVFMT_DURATION_FROM_PTS, AVFMT_DURATION_FROM_STREAM, or AVFMT_DURATION_FROM_BITRATE.
int avformat_alloc_output_context2 ( AVFormatContext **  ctx,
AVOutputFormat oformat,
const char *  format_name,
const char *  filename 
)

Allocate an AVFormatContext for an output format.

avformat_free_context() can be used to free the context and everything allocated by the framework within it.

Parameters
*ctxis set to the created format context, or to NULL in case of failure
oformatformat to use for allocating the context, if NULL format_name and filename are used instead
format_namethe name of output format to use for allocating the context, if NULL filename is used instead
filenamethe name of the filename to use for allocating the context, may be NULL
Returns
>= 0 in case of success, a negative AVERROR code in case of failure
Examples:
muxing.c, remuxing.c, and transcoding.c.
