int av_sdp_create	(	AVFormatContext *	ac[],
		int	n_files,
		char *	buf,
		int	size
	)

Generate an SDP for an RTP session.

Note, this overwrites the id values of AVStreams in the muxer contexts for getting unique dynamic payload types.

Parameters

ac	array of AVFormatContexts describing the RTP streams. If the array is composed by only one context, such context can contain multiple AVStreams (one AVStream per RTP stream). Otherwise, all the contexts in the array (an AVCodecContext per RTP stream) must contain only one AVStream.
n_files	number of AVCodecContexts contained in ac
buf	buffer where the SDP will be stored (must be allocated by the caller)
size	the size of the buffer

Returns: 0 if OK, AVERROR_xxx on error

int avformat_query_codec	(	AVOutputFormat *	ofmt,
		enum AVCodecID	codec_id,
		int	std_compliance
	)

Test if the given container can store a codec.

Parameters

std_compliance standards compliance level, one of FF_COMPLIANCE_*

Returns: 1 if codec with ID codec_id can be stored in ofmt, 0 if it cannot. A negative number if this information is not available.

AVRational av_guess_sample_aspect_ratio	(	AVFormatContext *	format,
		AVStream *	stream,
		AVFrame *	frame
	)

Guess the sample aspect ratio of a frame, based on both the stream and the frame aspect ratio.

Since the frame aspect ratio is set by the codec but the stream aspect ratio is set by the demuxer, these two may not be equal. This function tries to return the value that you should use if you would like to display the frame.

Basic logic is to use the stream aspect ratio if it is set to something sane otherwise use the frame aspect ratio. This way a container setting, which is usually easy to modify can override the coded value in the frames.

Parameters

format	the format context which the stream is part of
stream	the stream which the frame is part of
frame	the frame with the aspect ratio to be determined

Returns: the guessed (valid) sample_aspect_ratio, 0/1 if no idea

int avformat_match_stream_specifier	(	AVFormatContext *	s,
		AVStream *	st,
		const char *	spec
	)

Check if the stream st contained in s is matched by the stream specifier spec.

See the "stream specifiers" chapter in the documentation for the syntax of spec.

Returns: >0 if st is matched by spec; 0 if st is not matched by spec; AVERROR code if spec is invalid

Note: A stream specifier can match several streams in the format.
