It is set by the muxing code, which will not be synchronized with
encoding code after upcoming threading changes. Use an encoder-private
variable instead.
Packets submitted to the muxer now have their timebase attached to them,
so the muxer can do conversion to muxing timebase and avoid exposing it
to callers.
There is no reason to postpone it until opening the encoder. Also, abort
when the input stream is unknown, rather than disregard an explicit
request from the user.
The code will currently add a small offset to avoid exact midpoints, but
this can cause inexact results when a float timestamp is exactly
representable as an integer.
Fixes off-by-one in the first frame duration in multiple FATE tests.
Checking whether the user requested an unsupported conversion between
text and bitmap subtitles can be done immediately when creating the
output stream.
This function is entangled with encoder setup, so it is more encoding
code rather than ffmpeg_hw code. This will allow making more encoder
state private in the future.
When no frames are ever seen by an encoder, encoder flush will do a
last-ditch attempt to configure its source filtergraph in order to at
least get the stream parameters. This involves extracting demuxer
parameters from filtergraph source inputs, which is
* a bad layering violation
* probably unreachable, because decoders are flushed before encoders,
which should call ifilter_send_eof(), which will also set these
parameters; however due to complex control flow it is hard to be
entirely sure this code can never be triggered
Even if this code can actually be reached, it is probably better to
return an error as the comment above it says.
The name is misleading, because it is not a picture in the sense of MPEG
terminology (which define "picture" as "frame or field"), but always a
full frame. 'next' is also redundant and/or misleading, because it is
the _current_ frame to be encoded.
Previously they would only be used with trivial filtergraphs, because
filters did not handle frame durations. That is no longer true - most
filters process frame durations properly (there may still be some that
don't - this change will help finding and fixing them).
Improves output video frame durations in a number of FATE tests.
Remove now-obsolete code setting packet durations pre-muxing for CFR
encoded video.
Changes output in the following FATE tests:
* numerous adpcm tests
* ffmpeg-filter_complex_audio
* lavf-asf
* lavf-mkv
* lavf-mkv_attachment
* matroska-encoding-delay
All of these change due to the fact that the output duration is now
the actual input data duration and does not include padding added by
the encoder.
* apng-osample: less wrong packet durations are now passed to the muxer.
They are not entirely correct, because the first frame duration should
be 3 rather than 2. This is caused by the vsync code and should be
addressed later, but this change is a step in the right direction.
* tscc2-mov: last output frame has a duration of 11 rather than 1 - this
corresponds to the duration actually returned by the demuxer.
* film-cvid: video frame durations are now 2 rather than 1 - this
corresponds to durations actually returned by the demuxer and matches
the timestamps.
* mpeg2-ticket6677: durations of some video frames are now 2 rather than
1 - this matches the timestamps.
It stores codec parameters of the stream submitted to the muxer, which
may be different from the codec parameters in AVStream due to bitstream
filtering.
This avoids the confusing back and forth synchronisation between the
encoder, bitstream filters, and the muxer, now information flows only in
one direction. It also reduces the need for non-muxing code to access
AVStream.
Changing AVCodecContext.sample_aspect_ratio after the encoder was opened
is by itself questionable, but if anywhere it belongs in encoding rather
than filtering code.
Which is subtitle encoding. Also, check for AVSubtitle.pts rather than
InputStream.pts, since that is the more authoritative value and is
guaranteed to be valid.
It is video encoding-only and does not need to be visible outside of
ffmpeg_enc.c
Also, rename the variable to frames_prev_hist to be consistent with
the naming in do_video_out().
Several places in the code currently call init_output_stream_wrapper(),
which in turn calls init_output_stream(), which then calls either
enc_open() or init_output_stream_streamcopy(), followed by
of_stream_init(), which tells the muxer the stream is ready for muxing.
All except one of these callers are in the encoding code, which will be
moved to ffmpeg_enc.c. Keeping this structure would then necessitate
ffmpeg_enc.c calling back into the common code in ffmpeg.c, which would
then just call ffmpeg_mux, thus making the already convoluted call chain
even more so.
Simplify the situation by using separate paths for filter-fed output
streams (audio and video encoders) and others (subtitles, streamcopy,
data, attachments).
