[Ffmpeg-devel] ffh264 & coded_frame

[Luca Abeni]

Hi,

I finally found some time to play with ffh264 again, and I found out
that it sets avctx->coded_frame to NULL.
Since ffmpeg.c contains code for supporting this situation, I assume
that avctx->coded_frame == NULL is valid. But this makes impossible to
know the frame quality, the frame type, and to recognize key frames.

So, I tried to add support for coded_frame... I came up with the
attached patch, but I do not know if it is correct (in particular, is it
ok to set coded_frame = &t->po?).

After applying this patch ffmpeg shows a reasonable "q=" value while
encoding (I hope it is correct). I am not setting coded_frame->pts yet,
but I expect that something like avctx->coded_frame->pts = ((AVFrame
*)data)->pts should work...

Finally, when preparing this patch I had some doubts about t->po: if I
understand it correctly, t->po contains the encoded frame... Is this
right? If yes, why is it allocated with
"avpicture_alloc(&t->po, avctx->pix_fmt, width, height);", implying that
it contains non-compressed video? Also, why not directly allocating
t->po_data0 instead of allocating t->po and doing  t->po_data0 =
(uint8_t *)t->po.data[0];?
Sorry for the dumb question; I'm just trying to get acquited with the
code...


			Thanks,
				Luca
