在上文FFmpeg 结构体学习(四)： AVFrame 分析我们学习了AVStream结构体的相关内容。本文，我们将讲述一下AVCodec。
AVCodec是存储编解码器信息的结构体。下面我们来分析一下该结构体里重要变量的含义和作用。
一、源码整理
首先我们先看一下结构体AVFrame的定义的结构体源码(位于libavcodec/avcodec.h)：
/* 雷霄骅 * 中国传媒大学/数字电视技术 * [email protected] * */ /** * AVCodec. */ typedef struct AVCodec { /** * Name of the codec implementation. * The name is globally unique among encoders and among decoders (but an * encoder and a decoder can share the same name). * This is the primary way to find a codec from the user perspective. */ const char *name; /** * Descriptive name for the codec, meant to be more human readable than name. * You should use the NULL_IF_CONFIG_SMALL() macro to define it. */ const char *long_name; enum AVMediaType type; enum CodecID id; /** * Codec capabilities. * see CODEC_CAP_* */ int capabilities; const AVRational *supported_framerates; ///< array of supported framerates, or NULL if any, array is terminated by {0,0} const enum PixelFormat *pix_fmts; ///< array of supported pixel formats, or NULL if unknown, array is terminated by -1 const int *supported_samplerates; ///< array of supported audio samplerates, or NULL if unknown, array is terminated by 0 const enum AVSampleFormat *sample_fmts; ///< array of supported sample formats, or NULL if unknown, array is terminated by -1 const uint64_t *channel_layouts; ///< array of support channel layouts, or NULL if unknown. array is terminated by 0 uint8_t max_lowres; ///< maximum value for lowres supported by the decoder const AVClass *priv_class; ///< AVClass for the private context const AVProfile *profiles; ///< array of recognized profiles, or NULL if unknown, array is terminated by {FF_PROFILE_UNKNOWN} /***************************************************************** * No fields below this line are part of the public API. They * may not be used outside of libavcodec and can be changed and * removed at will. * New public fields should be added right above. ***************************************************************** */ int priv_data_size; struct AVCodec *next; /** * @name Frame-level threading support functions * @{ */ /** * If defined, called on thread contexts when they are created. * If the codec allocates writable tables in init(), re-allocate them here. * priv_data will be set to a copy of the original. */ int (*init_thread_copy)(AVCodecContext *); /** * Copy necessary context variables from a previous thread context to the current one. * If not defined, the next thread will start automatically; otherwise, the codec * must call ff_thread_finish_setup(). * * dst and src will (rarely) point to the same context, in which case memcpy should be skipped. */ int (*update_thread_context)(AVCodecContext *dst, const AVCodecContext *src); /** @} */ /** * Private codec-specific defaults. */ const AVCodecDefault *defaults; /** * Initialize codec static data, called from avcodec_register(). */ void (*init_static_data)(struct AVCodec *codec); int (*init)(AVCodecContext *); int (*encode)(AVCodecContext *, uint8_t *buf, int buf_size, void *data); /** * Encode data to an AVPacket. * * @param avctx codec context * @param avpkt output AVPacket (may contain a user-provided buffer) * @param[in] frame AVFrame containing the raw data to be encoded * @param[out] got_packet_ptr encoder sets to 0 or 1 to indicate that a * non-empty packet was returned in avpkt. * @return 0 on success, negative error code on failure */ int (*encode2)(AVCodecContext *avctx, AVPacket *avpkt, const AVFrame *frame, int *got_packet_ptr); int (*decode)(AVCodecContext *, void *outdata, int *outdata_size, AVPacket *avpkt); int (*close)(AVCodecContext *); /** * Flush buffers. * Will be called when seeking */ void (*flush)(AVCodecContext *); } AVCodec;
二、AVCodec 重点字段
下面说一下最主要的几个变量：
const char *name：编解码器的名字，比较短 const char *long_name：编解码器的名字，全称，比较长 enum AVMediaType type：指明了类型，是视频，音频，还是字幕 enum AVCodecID id：ID，不重复 const AVRational *supported_framerates：支持的帧率（仅视频） const enum AVPixelFormat *pix_fmts：支持的像素格式（仅视频） const int *supported_samplerates：支持的采样率（仅音频） const enum AVSampleFormat *sample_fmts：支持的采样格式（仅音频） const uint64_t *channel_layouts：支持的声道数（仅音频） int priv_data_size：私有数据的大小
详细介绍几个变量：
1.enum AVMediaType type
AVMediaType定义如下：
enum AVMediaType { AVMEDIA_TYPE_UNKNOWN = -1, ///< Usually treated as AVMEDIA_TYPE_DATA AVMEDIA_TYPE_VIDEO, AVMEDIA_TYPE_AUDIO, AVMEDIA_TYPE_DATA, ///< Opaque data information usually continuous AVMEDIA_TYPE_SUBTITLE, AVMEDIA_TYPE_ATTACHMENT, ///< Opaque data information usually sparse AVMEDIA_TYPE_NB };
