WebM VP8 Codec SDK
|
This is an example of a simple encoder loop. It takes an input file in YV12 format, passes it through the encoder, and writes the compressed frames to disk in IVF format. Other decoder examples build upon this one.
The details of the IVF format have been elided from this example for simplicity of presentation, as IVF files will not generally be used by your application. In general, an IVF file consists of a file header, followed by a variable number of frames. Each frame consists of a frame header followed by a variable length payload. The length of the payload is specified in the first four bytes of the frame header. The payload is the raw compressed data.
For encoders, you only have to include vpx_encoder.h
and then any
header files for the specific codecs you use. In this case, we’re using
vp8. The VPX_CODEC_DISABLE_COMPAT
macro can be defined to ensure
strict compliance with the latest SDK by disabling some backwards
compatibility features. Defining this macro is encouraged.
#define VPX_CODEC_DISABLE_COMPAT 1 #include "vpx/vpx_encoder.h" #include "vpx/vp8cx.h" #define interface (vpx_codec_vp8_cx())
Encoders have the notion of “usage profiles.” For example, an encoder may want to publish default configurations for both a video conferencing appliction and a best quality offline encoder. These obviously have very different default settings. Consult the documentation for your codec to see if it provides any default configurations. All codecs provide a default configuration, number 0, which is valid for material in the vacinity of QCIF/QVGA.
/* Populate encoder configuration */ res = vpx_codec_enc_config_default(interface, &cfg, 0); if(res) { printf("Failed to get config: %s\n", vpx_codec_err_to_string(res)); return EXIT_FAILURE; }
Almost all applications will want to update the default configuration with settings specific to their usage. Here we set the width and height of the video file to that specified on the command line. We also scale the default bitrate based on the ratio between the default resolution and the resolution specified on the command line.
/* Update the default configuration with our settings */ cfg.rc_target_bitrate = width * height * cfg.rc_target_bitrate / cfg.g_w / cfg.g_h; cfg.g_w = width; cfg.g_h = height;
The encoder is initialized by the following code.
/* Initialize codec */ if(vpx_codec_enc_init(&codec, interface, &cfg, 0)) die_codec(&codec, "Failed to initialize encoder");
The frame is read as a continuous block (size width * height * 3 / 2)
from the input file. If a frame was read (the input file has not hit
EOF) then the frame is passed to the encoder. Otherwise, a NULL
is passed, indicating the End-Of-Stream condition to the encoder. The
frame_cnt
is reused as the presentation time stamp (PTS) and each
frame is shown for one frame-time in duration. The flags parameter is
unused in this example. The deadline is set to VPX_DL_REALTIME to
make the example run as quickly as possible.
frame_avail = read_frame(infile, &raw); if(vpx_codec_encode(&codec, frame_avail? &raw : NULL, frame_cnt, 1, flags, VPX_DL_REALTIME)) die_codec(&codec, "Failed to encode frame");
Each packet of type VPX_CODEC_CX_FRAME_PKT
contains the encoded data
for this frame. We write a IVF frame header, followed by the raw data.
case VPX_CODEC_CX_FRAME_PKT: write_ivf_frame_header(outfile, pkt); if(fwrite(pkt->data.frame.buf, 1, pkt->data.frame.sz, outfile)); break;
The vpx_codec_destroy
call frees any memory allocated by the codec.
if(vpx_codec_destroy(&codec)) die_codec(&codec, "Failed to destroy codec");
This example does not special case any error return codes. If there was
an error, a descriptive message is printed and the program exits. With
few exeptions, vpx_codec functions return an enumerated error status,
with the value 0
indicating success.
static void die_codec(vpx_codec_ctx_t *ctx, const char *s) { const char *detail = vpx_codec_error_detail(ctx); printf("%s: %s\n", s, vpx_codec_error(ctx)); if(detail) printf(" %s\n",detail); exit(EXIT_FAILURE); }
