[Ffmpeg-devel] Fwd: How to encode video?

I've sent this mail to the users lists but I think that the the devel list
is more appropriated...

Hi there,

I'm trying to encode video to H.263 format...

I'm making this:

void video_encode(unsigned char* frame_rgb, int frame_rgb_size) {
    int r = avcodec_encode_video(enc_context, frame_rgb, frame_rgb_size,
encoded_frame);
    ...

}

Something is missing here...
How can the encoder know that the frame_rgb contains a raw RGB frame?
Next... encoded_frame->data is a array of 4 positions... When
avcodec_encode_video() returns the first 3 positions of the array are set...
How can I save the frames to disk?

I've been looking for some documentation but I can't find anything related
to encoding video...


Thanks
