介绍

一、ffmpeg介绍
ffmpeg软件包经编译过后将生成三个可执行文件，ffmpeg，ffserver，ffplay。其中ffmpeg用于对媒体文件进行处理，ffserver是一个http的流媒体服务器，ffplay是一个基于SDL的简单播放器。
ffmpeg中有五个库文件，libavcodec，libavformat，libavutil，libswscale，libpostproc，其中库libavcodec，libavformat用于对媒体文件进行处理，如格式的转换；libavutil是一个通用的小型函数库，该库中实现了CRC校验码的产生，128位整数数学，最大公约数，整数开方，整数取对数，内存分配，大端小端格式的转换等功能；

Libary中的kernel

• 
  

• libavutil

The libavutil library is a utility library to aid portable multimedia programming. It contains safe portable string functions, random number generators, data structures, additional mathematics functions, cryptography and multimedia related functionality (like enumerations for pixel and sample formats). It is not a library for code needed by both libavcodec and libavformat.
The goals for this library is to be:
Modular
It should have few interdependencies and the possibility of disabling individual parts during ./configure.
Small
Both sources and objects should be small.
Efficient
It should have low CPU and memory usage.
Useful
It should avoid useless features that almost no one needs.

• libswscale

  The libswscale library performs highly optimized image scaling and colorspace and pixel format conversion operations.
  Specifically, this library performs the following conversions:
  • Rescaling: is the process of changing the video size. Several rescaling options and algorithms are available. This is usually a lossy process.
  • Pixel format conversion: is the process of converting the image format and colorspace of the image, for example from planar YUV420P to RGB24 packed. It also handles packing conversion, that is converts from packed layout (all pixels belonging to distinct planes interleaved in the same buffer), to planar layout (all samples belonging to the same plane stored in a dedicated buffer or “plane”).
  This is usually a lossy process in case the source and destination colorspaces differ.

• libswresample

  The libswresample library performs highly optimized audio resampling, rematrixing and sample format conversion operations.
  Specifically, this library performs the following conversions:
  • Resampling: is the process of changing the audio rate, for example from a high sample rate of 44100Hz to 8000Hz. Audio conversion from high to low sample rate is a lossy process. Several resampling options and algorithms are available.
  • Format conversion: is the process of converting the type of samples, for example from 16-bit signed samples to unsigned 8-bit or float samples. It also handles packing conversion, when passing from packed layout (all samples belonging to distinct channels interleaved in the same buffer), to planar layout (all samples belonging to the same channel stored in a dedicated buffer or “plane”).
  • Rematrixing: is the process of changing the channel layout, for example from stereo to mono. When the input channels cannot be mapped to the output streams, the process is lossy, since it involves different gain factors and mixing.
  Various other audio conversions (e.g. stretching and padding) are enabled through dedicated options.

• libavcodec

  The libavcodec library provides a generic encoding/decoding framework and contains multiple decoders and encoders for audio, video and subtitle streams, and several bitstream filters.
  The shared architecture provides various services ranging from bit stream I/O to DSP optimizations, and makes it suitable for implementing robust and fast codecs as well as for experimentation.

• libavformat

  The libavformat library provides a generic framework for multiplexing and demultiplexing (muxing and demuxing) audio, video and subtitle streams. It encompasses multiple muxers and demuxers for multimedia container formats.
  It also supports several input and output protocols to access a media resource.

• libavdevice

  The libavdevice library provides a generic framework for grabbing from and rendering to many common multimedia input/output devices, and supports several input and output devices, including Video4Linux2, VfW, DShow, and ALSA.

• libavfilter
  

  The libavfilter library provides a generic audio/video filtering framework containing several filters, sources and sinks.
