Detailed Description

AVFrame is an abstraction for reference-counted raw multimedia data.

Enumeration Type Documentation

Enumerator
AV_FRAME_DATA_PANSCAN 

The data is the AVPanScan struct defined in libavcodec.

AV_FRAME_DATA_A53_CC 

ATSC A53 Part 4 Closed Captions.

A53 CC bitstream is stored as uint8_t in AVFrameSideData.data. The number of bytes of CC data is AVFrameSideData.size.

AV_FRAME_DATA_STEREO3D 

Stereoscopic 3d metadata.

The data is the AVStereo3D struct defined in libavutil/stereo3d.h.

AV_FRAME_DATA_MATRIXENCODING

AV_FRAME_DATA_DOWNMIX_INFO 

Metadata relevant to a downmix procedure.

The data is the AVDownmixInfo struct defined in libavutil/downmix_info.h.

AV_FRAME_DATA_REPLAYGAIN 

ReplayGain information in the form of the AVReplayGain struct.

AV_FRAME_DATA_DISPLAYMATRIX 

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

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

AV_FRAME_DATA_AFD 

Active Format Description data consisting of a single byte as specified in ETSI TS 101 154 using AVActiveFormatDescription enum.

AV_FRAME_DATA_MOTION_VECTORS

AV_FRAME_DATA_SKIP_SAMPLES 

Recommmends skipping the specified number of samples.

This is exported only if the "skip_manual" AVOption is set in libavcodec. This has the same format as AV_PKT_DATA_SKIP_SAMPLES.

void av_frame_move_ref ( AVFrame dst,
AVFrame src 
)
int av_frame_get_buffer ( AVFrame frame,
int  align 
)

Allocate new buffer(s) for audio or video data.

The following fields must be set on frame before calling this function:

  • format (pixel format for video, sample format for audio)
  • width and height for video
  • nb_samples and channel_layout for audio

This function will fill AVFrame.data and AVFrame.buf arrays and, if necessary, allocate and fill AVFrame.extended_data and AVFrame.extended_buf. For planar formats, one buffer will be allocated for each plane.

Parameters
frameframe in which to store the new buffers.
alignrequired buffer size alignment
Returns
0 on success, a negative AVERROR on error.

int av_frame_is_writable ( AVFrame frame)

Check if the frame data is writable.

Returns
A positive value if the frame data is writable (which is true if and only if each of the underlying buffers has only one reference, namely the one stored in this frame). Return 0 otherwise.

If 1 is returned the answer is valid until av_buffer_ref() is called on any of the underlying AVBufferRefs (e.g. through av_frame_ref() or directly).

int av_frame_make_writable ( AVFrame frame)

Ensure that the frame data is writable, avoiding data copy if possible.

Do nothing if the frame is writable, allocate new buffers and copy the data if it is not.

Returns
0 on success, a negative AVERROR on error.

int av_frame_copy ( AVFrame dst,
const AVFrame src 
)

Copy the frame data from src to dst.

This function does not allocate anything, dst must be already initialized and allocated with the same parameters as src.

This function only copies the frame data (i.e. the contents of the data / extended data arrays), not any other properties.

Returns

)

Copy only "metadata" fields from src to dst.

Metadata for the purpose of this function are those fields that do not affect the data layout in the buffers. E.g. pts, sample rate (for audio) or sample aspect ratio (for video), but not width/height or channel layout. Side data is also copied.
