[Ffmpeg-devel] how to compile output_example.c (fwd)

[Turbo]

Hi,
I have found a workaround.
I have decided not to use the new swscale functions and stick with the old 
img_convert function. The program is compiling succesfully now.
But when I ran it is displayed "[mpeg @ 0x83cf008]buffer underflow" 
hundreds of times.
So, after checking past archives I found that (AVFormatContext 
*)ac->max_delay has to be set. I set that to 0.7.
But still that message is coming but only around 20 times.
However the ouput video file plays fine in mplayer.
Is there any problem? or should I ignore those buffer underflow messages?

It works on the original output_example.c present in cvs.
I think i will have to clarify a few things. I have tried converting the 
output_example.c code into a simpler API using classes. I had this API working 
very well with ffmpeg-0.4.9pre1-release. But now I tried changing it to make it 
work with the latest CVS version. I incorporated some of the easy changes like 
removing & operator from some places and changing . to -> and chamging 
frame_rate to time_base.den, etc.
Line 337 to 347 of the latest output_example.c were not present in old one. I 
added these lines. they are:-
337:if (img_convert_ctx == NULL) {
338:                img_convert_ctx = sws_getContext(c->width, c->height,
339:                                                 PIX_FMT_YUV420P,
340:                                                 c->width, c->height,
341:                                                 c->pix_fmt,
342:                                                 sws_flags, NULL, NULL, 
NULL);
343:                if (img_convert_ctx == NULL) {
344:                    fprintf(stderr, "Cannot initialize the conversion 
context\n");
345:                    exit(1);
346:                }
347:            }

Also line 349 is now :-
sws_scale(img_convert_ctx, tmp_picture->data, tmp_picture->linesize, 0, 
c->height, picture->data, picture->linesize);

instead of the old one where we had a call to img_convert()
I incorporated all these changes. But then the compiler is reporting 
sws_getContext and sws_scale as undefined while linking.
My API is in videoIO.h and videoIO.cpp and my main program is in 
example_copy.cpp
Below is my Makefile:-
GCC = g++ -Wall -g
INCLUDES = -I /usr/local/include/ffmpeg/
LIBS = -lavformat -lavcodec -lavutil -lm -lz -ldl
all : example_copy
example_copy : example_copy.cpp videoIO.o
 	$(GCC) -o example_copy example_copy.cpp videoIO.o $(INCLUDES) $(LIBS)
videoIO.o : videoIO.cpp videoIO.h
 	$(GCC) -c -o videoIO.o videoIO.cpp $(INCLUDES)

Explained above

I think I am using the latest svn. How to make sure?

Should I attach my code? Its almost same as output_example.c and you wouldn't 
have to spend much time on it.
