Codec and pixel formats CODEC_ID_MPEG1VIDEO and PIX_FMT_YUV420P

The CODEC_ID_MPEG1VIDEO and PIX_FMT_YUV420P constants are part of the FFmpeg library, which is a popular open-source library for working with audio and video. These constants are used to identify specific codecs and pixel formats that can be used when processing audio and video data.

If you are getting an error involving these constants, it could be due to a number of factors. Some possible causes of the error could include:

  • Missing or incorrect include statement: Make sure that you have included the necessary FFmpeg header files in your source code, and that the include statements are correct. For example, to use the CODEC_ID_MPEG1VIDEO and PIX_FMT_YUV420P constants, you would need to include the avcodec.h header file.
  • Linking errors: If you are using a pre-built version of the FFmpeg library, make sure that you have linked your project to the correct version of the library. If you are building FFmpeg from source, make sure that the library was built correctly and that your project is linking to the correct library file.
  • Compatibility issues: Make sure that you are using compatible versions of the FFmpeg library and your compiler. Some versions of the library may not work with certain compilers, or may require certain compiler flags to be set.
  • Incorrect usage: Make sure that you are using the CODEC_ID_MPEG1VIDEO and PIX_FMT_YUV420P constants correctly in your code. For example, make sure that you are using them in the correct context and with the correct data types.

Video display in Imgui using C++ and ESCAPI

To create an application that can view the webcam using ImGUI, C++, and ESCAPI, you can follow these steps: Install the required libraries and tools: You will need to have the ImGUI, C++, and DirectX11 libraries and tools installed on your system in order to build the application. You may also need to install additional libraries or tools that are required to access the webcam and capture video frames, such as the Microsoft Media Foundation library or the OpenCV library. Set up the ImGUI interface: Use the ImGUI library to set up the user interface for the application. This will typically involve creating the layout for the application's window, as well as any necessary buttons, sliders, or other controls that will be used to interact with the webcam. Initialize the ESCAPI context: Use the ESCAPI library to create a context that will be used to grabbing the webcam video frames. This will typically involve setting up a creating a render target, and initializing any necessary reso...

A Comprehensive Guide to Encoding H.264 Video with MP4 Container Using Controllable Frame Rate and Bitrate in libavcodec

Introduction If you're working with multimedia applications or video production, you may often find yourself in a situation where you need to encode video with specific settings like H.264 codec, MP4 container, and controllable frame rate and bitrate. libavcodec, a vital component of the FFmpeg multimedia framework, can help you achieve this. In this guide, we will walk you through the steps to encode video with these requirements and introduce you to the concept of presets to control encoding quality. Encoding with libavcodec libavcodec is a powerful library for encoding and decoding audio and video streams. To encode video with H.264 codec and MP4 container while controlling the frame rate and bitrate, you can use the following.   Set Encoding Options: To control the encoding quality, you can set the encoding options using the AVDictionary structure. In this case, we'll focus on the 'preset' option, which defines the encoding speed and quality.  The available presets ...

Image overlay on video using c++ and ffmpeg API

This project is NOT a command line, It is a tool written in C++ that uses the FFmpeg library to overlay an image on top of a video. The tool takes as input a video file, an image file, and the output file name, and overlays the image on top of the video at a specified location and for a specified duration. watch the demo on youtube The tool uses the FFmpeg library to decode the video and image, and to encode the output video with the overlay. It also allows the user to specify the x and y coordinates of the top-left corner of the image, as well as the width and height of the image, in pixels. The tool can be used to add a logo or watermark to a video, or to add other types of visual overlays. To use the tool, the user needs to have FFmpeg installed on their system and available in the system's PATH. The user can then compile the C++ source code and run the resulting executable from the command line, specifying the necessary arguments. source code: https://github.com/abdullahfarwees...
