[Libav-user] How is cropping and scaling implemented

[Kristensen, Odd-Arild]

Thank you, that makes perfect sense.

I am working on a project where we use the ffmpeg libraries to perform cropping and scaling. When we start breaking stuff we want to be sure that we know what the data looks like.

Cropping can be implemented by changing the pixel data pointer to point
to the top left pixel. Nothing else needs to be done. Why are you even
asking? It's completely transparent to the user.
