[Libav-user] Packed variant of PIX_FMT_YUV420P

[Nisar Ahmed]

I am demuxing and decoding a quicktime movie file using libav, the decoder
always produces a frame in YUV420P, this frame has to go to the DeckLink's
frame buffer which expects the format to be YUYV422. Now I need to convert
to the desired pix format for which I am using sws_scale.

I was wondering whether is it possible to tell the decoder to decode in
YUYV422 to save an additional conversion step? if not then is sws_scale the
only option for the conversation. The conversion is happening but somehow
the resulting frame has colours inverted (is the byte order changing during
memcpy?).

            //initializing destination buffer

            ret = av_image_alloc(video_dst_data, video_dst_linesize,

                                 video_dec_ctx->width, video_dec_ctx->height,
AV_PIX_FMT_YUYV422, 1);

                      //initializing context

            sws = sws_getContext(video_dec_ctx->width, video_dec_ctx->height,
video_dec_ctx->pix_fmt, video_dec_ctx->width, video_dec_ctx->height,

                                  AV_PIX_FMT_YUYV422, SWS_FAST_BILINEAR,
NULL, NULL, NULL);


                      //performing conversion, frame holds the decoded
pixels from the decoder id dvvideo

            int status = sws_scale(sws, frame->data, frame->linesize, 0,
frame->height, video_dst_data, video_dst_linesize);


            memcpy((char*)buffer, video_dst_data[0], video_dst_linesize[0]
* video_dec_ctx->height);
