Chris,
There is an error on my side, replace
av_read_frame(pFormatContext, &pkt) > 0
with
av_read_frame(pFormatContext, &pkt) >= 0
av_read_frame returns less then zero if there is an error, but zero or above is fine. 😊. Sorry.
Kind regards,
Strahinja

Hey Strahinja,
I tried to recreate what you sent me, but I ended up with the same issue as previous with the av_read_frame giving me 0.
I must have built my ffmpeg libs incorrectly or messed up my project settings, because these examples seems straightforward yet not working for me as intended.
I will also take a look at transcoding.c and see if I can find anything there that can also assist my learning.
Thank you again for your time and help!

Chris,
I am using something similar to this and its working properly:
ret = avformat_open_input(&pFormatContext, input_filename, NULL, NULL);
if (ret < 0)
return ret;
ret = avformat_find_stream_info(pFormatContext, NULL);
if (ret < 0)
return ret;
//I assume you only have 1 stream
AVCodec *dec = avcodec_find_decoder(pFormatContext->streams[0]->codecpar->codec_id);
if (!dec)
printf("Failed to find decoder for stream ");
decoder = avcodec_alloc_context3(NULL);
if (!decoder)
printf("Failed to allocate the decoder context for stream ");
ret = avcodec_parameters_to_context(decoder, pFormatContext->streams[0]->codecpar);
if (ret < 0)
printf("Failed to copy decoder parameters to input decoder context for stream ");
ret = avcodec_open2(decoder, dec, NULL);
if (ret < 0)
printf("Failed to open decoder for stream ");
while (av_read_frame(pFormatContext, &pkt) > 0) {
decode(decoder, frame, &pkt, outfilename);
}
I cant test your code so I am not quite sure why doesn’t it work. I would suggest that you look into the transcoding.c example also.

Hey Strahinja,
Yeah that is what I have. Here is the link to the latest version of the modified code:

Let me know what you think.
Thanks

Hey Chris,
I am not sure how exactly you modified your code but this should be the look of the loop
while(av_read_frame(fmt_ctx, &packet) > 0)
{
decode(c, frame, pkt, outfilename);
}
Kind regards,
Strahinja

Hm. Here is something strange.
When I try using while(av_read_frame(fmt_ctx, &packet) > 0), the method immediately passes, making nothing happen.
I turned on debug in my stream, and this is the output (not much makes sense/looks useful to me)

Hey Chris,
Can you try using
while(av_read_frame(fmt_ctx, &packet) > 0)
instead of using
while(!feof(f))
and then just send a packet to your decode method instead of a raw frame?

Hey Strahinja!
Thank you very much for taking the time to help me out.
the pgm snippet you sent looks the same as the decode video example I am seeing.
Here is the code that I am compiling and running if it helps, hopefully its not too long. ( I had to add an extern "C" wrapper since my goal is to build c++ tools with this, and also changed how the example finds the decoder).

Hi Chris,
To me that looks like you wrote some wrong data inside the picture and it looks skewed. Some indexes could be wrong.
void pgm_save(unsigned char *buf, int wrap, int xsize, int ysize, const char *filename)
{
FILE *f;
int i;
f = fopen(filename, "w");
fprintf(f, "P5\n%d %d\n%d\n", xsize, ysize, 255);
for (i = 0; i < ysize; i++)
fwrite(buf + i * wrap, 1, xsize, f);
fclose(f);
}
The above method should be called with pgm_save(frame->data[0], frame->linesize[0], frame->width, frame->height, “name.pgm”);
Kind regards,
Strahinja

Subject: [Libav-user] decode_video example pgm files distorted? (v4.0.2 Winbuild)
Hello All!
My apologies if this is a rookie question as I am just now learning the innards of ffmpeg, but I am reaching out hoping someone may have had the same issue as myself or has any advice.
I cloned 4.0.2 and compiled the libraries (MS VS 2013 x64) without issue.
I decided to try the examples as a learning opportunity, choosing decode_video. I ended up with this result: https://drive.google.com/file/d/1DPu1EaM7i5J3LFaaGmZNO4Hoi_QzVcKM/view?usp=sharing
At the top and bottom of the image there is is wavy distortion. I am not sure what is causing it.
The source file is a quicktime of a Motion JPEG video.
I had also compiled the exe as well and ran this command
ffmpeg.exe -ss 0.5 -i my_quicktime.mov -t 1 -s 480x300 -f image2 C:/frame-%03d.jpg
and those images turned out just fine (I am sure this probably runs some completely different underlying code but I just wanted to make sure what I compiled was capable of a successful result)
I figure I am doing something incorrectly but I do not know where else to look. If anyone has any advice on what to tinker with, I would greatly appreciate it.
Thanks,
Chris Bennett
