[Libav-user] Fast parsing of H.264 video stream using libavcodec

[Puneet Kapoor]

Thanks a lot for the tutorial link and suggestion.
I tried your suggestion of adding AVDictionary and it worked very well. I
got good performance improvement, basically from 39 sec to 14 secs for the
same video clip so pretty impressive !
Also, found the problem with my code was that the line
"*codec_context->thread_count
= 2;*" had to be called before opening the codec "*avcodec_open2()*", so
when I move it up it works too. Thats how they have done it in OpenCV code
as well. But I find your way much better as it automatically decides the
threads based on the machine.

Cheers
