[Libav-user] Convert video from avi to mp4

[Nicolas Braini]

Hi,
What you want to do is video transcoding right ?

So, what I suggest is simply do that :

Configure the decoder with the input format.
Configure the encoder with the output format.

For specifying the format, have a look at av_guess_format(...) and
avformat_alloc_context().

AVOutputFormat *outForm= av_guess_format(...) ;
AVFormatContext *formCtxt = avformat_alloc_context();

And after :

AVI file ----> decode video ( avcodec_decode_video2(...) ) -----> frame
finish ----> store frame ---> encode video with frame
(avcodec_encode_video(...) ) ----> MP4 file.

Hope it helps !

Br,
Nicolas Braini.
