[Libav-user] Mapping / converting QTCapture's to FFmpeg's pixel format

[Brad O'Hearne]

Carl, 

Thanks for the reply. I've tried both PIX_FMT_NV12 and PIX_FMT_NV21 (in fact, those were the ones I originally thought would work based on description). However, when I use either of those formats in place of  PIX_FMT_YUV420P in the following line of code: 

int returnVal = avpicture_fill((AVPicture*)avFrame, frameBufferBaseAddress, PIX_FMT_YUV420P, width, height);

then while it executes the avpicture_fill line successfully, the subsequent line of code 

returnVal = avcodec_encode_video2(_videoStream->codec, &avPacket, avFrame, &gotPacket);

crashes the whole app with an EXC_BAD_ACCESS error --  and there's no message of any kind written to the console. I have no idea what is causing the crash. Here's the complete block of the code between those two lines: 

...   
 int returnVal = avpicture_fill((AVPicture*)avFrame, frameBufferBaseAddress, PIX_FMT_NV21, width, height);
    
    if (returnVal < 0)
    {
        if (error)
        {
        	NSLOG(@"Frame fill failed.");
        }
        
        return NO;
    }

    AVPacket avPacket;
    av_init_packet(&avPacket);
    avPacket.data = NULL;
    avPacket.size = 0;
    int gotPacket;
    
    returnVal = avcodec_encode_video2(_videoStream->codec, &avPacket, avFrame, &gotPacket);
...

That's been pretty standard for most of the other pixel formats I've tried. There have been one or two that didn't crash the app, but had very wacky distortions (like half the image being neon green), but most of them just crash the app outright. 

Ideas? 

Brad
