FFmpeg结构体之AVCodec

AVCodec字段

AVCodec是存储编解码器信息的结构体，主要字段注释如下：

• const char *name; //编解码器名字
• const char *long_name; //编解码器全名
• enum AVMediaType type; //编解码器类型
• enum AVCodecID id; //编解码器ID
• const AVRational *supported_framerates; //支持帧率数组（视频）
• const enum AVPixelFormat *pix_fmts; //支持像素格式数组(视频）
• const int *supported_samplerates; //支持音频采样率数组(音频）
• const enum AVSampleFormat *sample_fmts; //支持采样格式数组(音频)
• const uint64_t *channel_layouts; //支持声道数（音频）
• const AVClass *priv_class; //私有数据

AVCodec内容

以mpeg2video编码器为例，说明结构体的内容：

AVCodec遍历

编解码器以链表形式存储，av_codec_next()函数可以获得指向下一个解码器的指针，具体参考遍历AVCodec代码

常见错误

mpeg2video支持的格式有AV_PIX_FMT_YUV420P，AV_PIX_FMT_YUV422P，如果设置为AV_PIX_FMT_NV12

    AVCodec *codec  = avcodec_find_encoder(AV_CODEC_ID_MPEG2VIDEO);
    codecCtx->pix_fmt = AV_PIX_FMT_NV12;

Error：Specified pixel format nv12 is invalid or not supported
