• FFmpeg源代碼簡單分析：avformat_write_header()_雷霄驊的博客-CSDN博客_avformat_write_header

avformat_write_header()

• FFmpeg寫文件用到的3個函數：avformat_write_header()，av_write_frame()以及av_write_trailer()
• 其中av_write_frame()用于寫視頻數據，avformat_write_header()用于寫視頻文件頭，而av_write_trailer()用于寫視頻文件尾
• 本文首先分析avformat_write_header()。
• PS：
• 需要注意的是，盡管這3個函數功能是配套的，但是它們的前綴卻不一樣，寫文件頭Header的函數前綴是“avformat_”，其他兩個函數前綴是“av_”（不太明白其中的原因）。
• avformat_write_header()的聲明位于libavformat\avformat.h，如下所示

/*** Allocate the stream private data and write the stream header to* an output media file.** @param s Media file handle, must be allocated with avformat_alloc_context().*          Its oformat field must be set to the desired output format;*          Its pb field must be set to an already opened AVIOContext.* @param options  An AVDictionary filled with AVFormatContext and muxer-private options.*                 On return this parameter will be destroyed and replaced with a dict containing*                 options that were not found. May be NULL.** @return AVSTREAM_INIT_IN_WRITE_HEADER on success if the codec had not already been fully initialized in avformat_init,*         AVSTREAM_INIT_IN_INIT_OUTPUT  on success if the codec had already been fully initialized in avformat_init,*         negative AVERROR on failure.** @see av_opt_find, av_dict_set, avio_open, av_oformat_next, avformat_init_output.*/
av_warn_unused_result
int avformat_write_header(AVFormatContext *s, AVDictionary **options);

• 簡單解釋一下它的參數的含義：
  • s：用于輸出的AVFormatContext。
  • options：額外的選項，目前沒有深入研究過，一般為NULL。
  • 函數正常執行后返回值等于0。
• avformat_write_header()的定義位于libavformat\mux.c，如下所示

int avformat_write_header(AVFormatContext *s, AVDictionary **options)
{FFFormatContext *const si = ffformatcontext(s);int already_initialized = si->initialized;int streams_already_initialized = si->streams_initialized;int ret = 0;if (!already_initialized)if ((ret = avformat_init_output(s, options)) < 0)return ret;if (!(s->oformat->flags & AVFMT_NOFILE) && s->pb)avio_write_marker(s->pb, AV_NOPTS_VALUE, AVIO_DATA_MARKER_HEADER);if (s->oformat->write_header) {ret = s->oformat->write_header(s);if (ret >= 0 && s->pb && s->pb->error < 0)ret = s->pb->error;if (ret < 0)goto fail;flush_if_needed(s);}if (!(s->oformat->flags & AVFMT_NOFILE) && s->pb)avio_write_marker(s->pb, AV_NOPTS_VALUE, AVIO_DATA_MARKER_UNKNOWN);if (!si->streams_initialized) {if ((ret = init_pts(s)) < 0)goto fail;}return streams_already_initialized;fail:deinit_muxer(s);return ret;
}

• 從源代碼可以看出，avformat_write_header()完成了以下工作：
• （1）調用avformat_init_output()初始化復用器?
• （2）調用AVOutputFormat的write_header()下面看一下這兩個函數。

函數調用關系圖

• avformat_write_header()的調用關系如下圖所示。
• init_muxer函數被avformat_init_output函數替代，avformat_init_output內部包含了init_muxer

avformat_init_output

int avformat_init_output(AVFormatContext *s, AVDictionary **options)
{FFFormatContext *const si = ffformatcontext(s);int ret = 0;if ((ret = init_muxer(s, options)) < 0)return ret;si->initialized = 1;si->streams_initialized = ret;if (s->oformat->init && ret) {if ((ret = init_pts(s)) < 0)return ret;return AVSTREAM_INIT_IN_INIT_OUTPUT;}return AVSTREAM_INIT_IN_WRITE_HEADER;
}

init_muxer()

• init_muxer()用于初始化復用器，它的定義如下所示。

static int init_muxer(AVFormatContext *s, AVDictionary **options)
{FFFormatContext *const si = ffformatcontext(s);AVDictionary *tmp = NULL;const AVOutputFormat *of = s->oformat;AVDictionaryEntry *e;int ret = 0;if (options)av_dict_copy(&tmp, *options, 0);if ((ret = av_opt_set_dict(s, &tmp)) < 0)goto fail;if (s->priv_data && s->oformat->priv_class && *(const AVClass**)s->priv_data==s->oformat->priv_class &&(ret = av_opt_set_dict2(s->priv_data, &tmp, AV_OPT_SEARCH_CHILDREN)) < 0)goto fail;if (!s->url && !(s->url = av_strdup(""))) {ret = AVERROR(ENOMEM);goto fail;}// some sanity checksif (s->nb_streams == 0 && !(of->flags & AVFMT_NOSTREAMS)) {av_log(s, AV_LOG_ERROR, "No streams to mux were specified\n");ret = AVERROR(EINVAL);goto fail;}for (unsigned i = 0; i < s->nb_streams; i++) {AVStream          *const  st = s->streams[i];FFStream          *const sti = ffstream(st);AVCodecParameters *const par = st->codecpar;const AVCodecDescriptor *desc;if (!st->time_base.num) {/* fall back on the default timebase values */if (par->codec_type == AVMEDIA_TYPE_AUDIO && par->sample_rate)avpriv_set_pts_info(st, 64, 1, par->sample_rate);elseavpriv_set_pts_info(st, 33, 1, 90000);}switch (par->codec_type) {case AVMEDIA_TYPE_AUDIO:if (par->sample_rate <= 0) {av_log(s, AV_LOG_ERROR, "sample rate not set\n");ret = AVERROR(EINVAL);goto fail;}#if FF_API_OLD_CHANNEL_LAYOUT

}

• init_muxer()代碼很長，但是它所做的工作比較簡單，可以概括成兩個字：檢查。
• 函數的流程可以概括成以下幾步：
  • （1）將傳入的AVDictionary形式的選項設置到AVFormatContext
  • （2）遍歷AVFormatContext中的每個AVStream，并作如下檢查：
    • a)AVStream的time_base是否正確設置。如果發現AVStream的time_base沒有設置，則會調用avpriv_set_pts_info()進行設置。
    • b)對于音頻，檢查采樣率設置是否正確；對于視頻，檢查寬、高、寬高比。
    • c)其他一些檢查，不再詳述。

AVOutputFormat->write_header()

• avformat_write_header()中最關鍵的地方就是調用了AVOutputFormat的write_header()。
• write_header()是AVOutputFormat中的一個函數指針，指向寫文件頭的函數。
• 不同的AVOutputFormat有不同的write_header()的實現方法。
• 在這里我們舉例子看一下FLV封裝格式對應的AVOutputFormat，它的定義位于libavformat\flvenc.c，如下所示。

const AVOutputFormat ff_flv_muxer = {.name           = "flv",.long_name      = NULL_IF_CONFIG_SMALL("FLV (Flash Video)"),.mime_type      = "video/x-flv",.extensions     = "flv",.priv_data_size = sizeof(FLVContext),.audio_codec    = CONFIG_LIBMP3LAME ? AV_CODEC_ID_MP3 : AV_CODEC_ID_ADPCM_SWF,.video_codec    = AV_CODEC_ID_FLV1,.init           = flv_init,.write_header   = flv_write_header,.write_packet   = flv_write_packet,.write_trailer  = flv_write_trailer,.check_bitstream= flv_check_bitstream,.codec_tag      = (const AVCodecTag* const []) {flv_video_codec_ids, flv_audio_codec_ids, 0},.flags          = AVFMT_GLOBALHEADER | AVFMT_VARIABLE_FPS |AVFMT_TS_NONSTRICT,.priv_class     = &flv_muxer_class,
};

• 從ff_flv_muxer的定義中可以看出，write_header()指向的函數為flv_write_header()。
• 我們繼續看一下flv_write_header()函數。
• flv_write_header()的定義同樣位于libavformat\flvenc.c，如下所示。

static int flv_write_header(AVFormatContext *s)
{int i;AVIOContext *pb = s->pb;FLVContext *flv = s->priv_data;avio_write(pb, "FLV", 3);avio_w8(pb, 1);avio_w8(pb, FLV_HEADER_FLAG_HASAUDIO * !!flv->audio_par +FLV_HEADER_FLAG_HASVIDEO * !!flv->video_par);avio_wb32(pb, 9);avio_wb32(pb, 0);for (i = 0; i < s->nb_streams; i++)if (s->streams[i]->codecpar->codec_tag == 5) {avio_w8(pb, 8);     // message typeavio_wb24(pb, 0);   // include flagsavio_wb24(pb, 0);   // time stampavio_wb32(pb, 0);   // reservedavio_wb32(pb, 11);  // sizeflv->reserved = 5;}if (flv->flags & FLV_NO_METADATA) {pb->seekable = 0;} else {write_metadata(s, 0);}for (i = 0; i < s->nb_streams; i++) {flv_write_codec_header(s, s->streams[i]->codecpar, 0);}flv->datastart_offset = avio_tell(pb);return 0;
}

• 從源代碼可以看出，flv_write_header()完成了FLV文件頭的寫入工作。
• 該函數的工作可以大體分為以下兩部分：
• （1）給FLVContext設置參數
• （2）寫文件頭，以及相關的Tag寫文件頭的代碼很短，如下所示

    avio_write(pb, "FLV", 3);avio_w8(pb, 1);avio_w8(pb, FLV_HEADER_FLAG_HASAUDIO * !!flv->audio_par +FLV_HEADER_FLAG_HASVIDEO * !!flv->video_par);avio_wb32(pb, 9);avio_wb32(pb, 0);

• 可以參考下圖中FLV文件頭的定義比對一下上面的代碼
