[Libav-user] Preview video and start recording with exact same stream settings

[Strahinja Radman]

If you only want to copy the input, there is no need to transcode. You can
simply duplicate the input packets, one packet goes to the decoder so it
can be shown, the other
goes to the muxer for the recorder when someone presses the record button.
You can save to whatever format you want but input may not be playable from
the start until
it reaches the key frame. Deep packet copy can be achieved with the
following code:

AVPacket packet;
av_init_packet(&packet);
av_packet_ref(packet, src);
av_packet_make_writable(&packet);

You can based on the decoded frames, mark a key frame packet and start
saving from there.
