Often a caller doesn't want the amount of bits written via a PutBitContext, but the amount of bytes. This in particular happens after one has flushed the PutBitContext (e.g. at the end of encoding, when one wants to know the actual packet size). The current way of doing this is with put_bits_count(pb)/8 (or (put_bits_count(pb) + 7)/8). Yet this has some issues: It contains implicit multiplications and divisions by 8 with a cast in between; it obscurs the intent; and it restricts the size of the buffer to (currently) INT_MAX/8 (or to 1/8 of the maximum of whatever put_bits_count() returns), although said restriction is not really necessary for users that don't need a bitcount. Corresponding functions for the amount of bytes left have also been addded. Signed-off-by: Andreas Rheinhardt <andreas.rheinhardt@gmail.com> |

provides implementation of a wider range of codecs.libavformat
implements streaming protocols, container formats and basic I/O access.libavutil
includes hashers, decompressors and miscellaneous utility functions.libavfilter
provides a mean to alter decoded Audio and Video through chain of filters.libavdevice
provides an abstraction to access capture and playback devices.libswresample
implements audio mixing and resampling routines.libswscale
implements color conversion and scaling routines.
Tools
- ffmpeg is a command line toolbox to manipulate, convert and stream multimedia content.
