FFMPEG中最关键的结构体之间的关系

在此不再详述，其中AVCodec是存储编解码器信息的结构体。本文将会详细分析一下该结构体里每个变量的含义和作用。

首先看一下结构体的定义（位于avcodec.h文件中）：

    AV_PIX_FMT_YUV444P,   ///< planar YUV 4:4:4, 24bpp, (1 Cr & Cb sample per 1x1 Y samples)
    AV_PIX_FMT_YUV410P,   ///< planar YUV 4:1:0,  9bpp, (1 Cr & Cb sample per 4x4 Y samples)

    AV_PIX_FMT_MONOWHITE, ///<        Y        ,  1bpp, 0 is white, 1 is black, in each byte pixels are ordered from the msb to the lsb
    AV_PIX_FMT_MONOBLACK, ///<        Y        ,  1bpp, 0 is black, 1 is white, in each byte pixels are ordered from the msb to the lsb
    AV_PIX_FMT_PAL8,      ///< 8 bit with PIX_FMT_RGB32 palette

}

4.const enum AVSampleFormat *sample_fmts

enum AVSampleFormat {
    AV_SAMPLE_FMT_NONE = -1,
    AV_SAMPLE_FMT_U8,          ///< unsigned 8 bits
    AV_SAMPLE_FMT_S16,         ///< signed 16 bits
    AV_SAMPLE_FMT_S32,         ///< signed 32 bits

    AV_SAMPLE_FMT_U8P,         ///< unsigned 8 bits, planar
    AV_SAMPLE_FMT_S16P,        ///< signed 16 bits, planar
    AV_SAMPLE_FMT_S32P,        ///< signed 32 bits, planar
    AV_SAMPLE_FMT_FLTP,        ///< float, planar
    AV_SAMPLE_FMT_DBLP,        ///< double, planar

    AV_SAMPLE_FMT_NB           ///< Number of sample formats. DO NOT USE if linking dynamically
};

每一个编解码器对应一个该结构体，查看一下ffmpeg的源代码，我们可以看一下H.264解码器的结构体如下所示（h264.c）：

AVCodec ff_h264_decoder = {
    .name           = "h264",
    .type           = AVMEDIA_TYPE_VIDEO,
    .id             = CODEC_ID_H264,
    .priv_data_size = sizeof(H264Context),
    .init           = ff_h264_decode_init,
    .close          = ff_h264_decode_end,
    .decode         = decode_frame,
    .capabilities   = /*CODEC_CAP_DRAW_HORIZ_BAND |*/ CODEC_CAP_DR1 | CODEC_CAP_DELAY |
                      CODEC_CAP_SLICE_THREADS | CODEC_CAP_FRAME_THREADS,
    .flush= flush_dpb,
    .long_name = NULL_IF_CONFIG_SMALL("H.264 / AVC / MPEG-4 AVC / MPEG-4 part 10"),
    .init_thread_copy      = ONLY_IF_THREADS_ENABLED(decode_init_thread_copy),
    .update_thread_context = ONLY_IF_THREADS_ENABLED(decode_update_thread_context),
    .profiles = NULL_IF_CONFIG_SMALL(profiles),
    .priv_class     = &h264_class,
};

JPEG2000解码器结构体（j2kdec.c）

AVCodec ff_jpeg2000_decoder = {
    .name           = "j2k",
    .type           = AVMEDIA_TYPE_VIDEO,
    .id             = CODEC_ID_JPEG2000,
    .priv_data_size = sizeof(J2kDecoderContext),
    .init           = j2kdec_init,
    .close          = decode_end,
    .decode         = decode_frame,
    .capabilities = CODEC_CAP_EXPERIMENTAL,
    .long_name = NULL_IF_CONFIG_SMALL("JPEG 2000"),
    .pix_fmts =
        (const enum PixelFormat[]) {PIX_FMT_GRAY8, PIX_FMT_RGB24, PIX_FMT_NONE}
};

下面简单介绍一下遍历ffmpeg中的解码器信息的方法（这些解码器以一个链表的形式存储）：

1.注册所有编解码器：av_register_all();

2.声明一个AVCodec类型的指针，比如说AVCodec* first_c;

3.调用av_codec_next()函数，即可获得指向链表下一个解码器的指针，循环往复可以获得所有解码器的信息。注意，如果想要获得指向第一个解码器的指针，则需要将该函数的参数设置为NULL。
