FFMPEG中最关键的结构体之间的关系
在此不再详述，其中AVFrame是包含码流参数较多的结构体。本文将会详细分析一下该结构体里主要变量的含义和作用。
首先看一下结构体的定义（位于avcodec.h）：

AVFrame结构体一般用于存储原始数据（即非压缩数据，例如对视频来说是YUV，RGB，对音频来说是PCM），此外还包含了一些相关的信息。比如说，解码的时候存储了宏块类型表，QP表，运动矢量表等数据。编码的时候也存储了相关的数据。因此在使用FFMPEG进行码流分析的时候，AVFrame是一个很重要的结构体。
下面看几个主要变量的作用（在这里考虑解码的情况）：
uint8_t *data[AV_NUM_DATA_POINTERS]：解码后原始数据（对视频来说是YUV，RGB，对音频来说是PCM）
int linesize[AV_NUM_DATA_POINTERS]：data中“一行”数据的大小。注意：未必等于图像的宽，一般大于图像的宽。
int width, height：视频帧宽和高（1920x1080,1280x720...）
int nb_samples：音频的一个AVFrame中可能包含多个音频帧，在此标记包含了几个
int format：解码后原始数据类型（YUV420，YUV422，RGB24...）
int key_frame：是否是关键帧
enum AVPictureType pict_type：帧类型（I,B,P...）
AVRational sample_aspect_ratio：宽高比（16:9，4:3...）
int64_t pts：显示时间戳
int coded_picture_number：编码帧序号
int display_picture_number：显示帧序号
int8_t *qscale_table：QP表
uint8_t *mbskip_table：跳过宏块表
int16_t (*motion_val[2])[2]：运动矢量表
uint32_t *mb_type：宏块类型表
short *dct_coeff：DCT系数，这个没有提取过
int8_t *ref_index[2]：运动估计参考帧列表（貌似H.264这种比较新的标准才会涉及到多参考帧）
int interlaced_frame：是否是隔行扫描
uint8_t motion_subsample_log2：一个宏块中的运动矢量采样个数，取log的
其他的变量不再一一列举，源代码中都有详细的说明。在这里重点分析一下几个需要一定的理解的变量：
1.data[]
对于packed格式的数据（例如RGB24），会存到data[0]里面。
对于planar格式的数据（例如YUV420P），则会分开成data[0]，data[1]，data[2]...（YUV420P中data[0]存Y，data[1]存U，data[2]存V）
具体参见：FFMPEG 实现 YUV，RGB各种图像原始数据之间的转换（swscale）
2.pict_type
包含以下类型：
enum AVPictureType {
AV_PICTURE_TYPE_NONE = 0, ///< Undefined
AV_PICTURE_TYPE_I, ///< Intra
AV_PICTURE_TYPE_P, ///< Predicted
AV_PICTURE_TYPE_B, ///< Bi-dir predicted
AV_PICTURE_TYPE_S, ///< S(GMC)-VOP MPEG4
AV_PICTURE_TYPE_SI, ///< Switching Intra
AV_PICTURE_TYPE_SP, ///< Switching Predicted
AV_PICTURE_TYPE_BI, ///< BI type
};
3.sample_aspect_ratio
宽高比是一个分数，FFMPEG中用AVRational表达分数：
/**
* rational number numerator/denominator
*/
typedef struct AVRational{
int num; ///< numerator
int den; ///< denominator
} AVRational;
4.qscale_table
QP表指向一块内存，里面存储的是每个宏块的QP值。宏块的标号是从左往右，一行一行的来的。每个宏块对应1个QP。
qscale_table[0]就是第1行第1列宏块的QP值；qscale_table[1]就是第1行第2列宏块的QP值；qscale_table[2]就是第1行第3列宏块的QP值。以此类推...
宏块的个数用下式计算：
注：宏块大小是16x16的。
每行宏块数：
int mb_stride = pCodecCtx->width/16+1
宏块的总数：
int mb_sum = ((pCodecCtx->height+15)>>4)*(pCodecCtx->width/16+1)
5.motion_subsample_log2
1个运动矢量所能代表的画面大小（用宽或者高表示，单位是像素），注意，这里取了log2。
代码注释中给出以下数据：
4->16x16, 3->8x8, 2-> 4x4, 1-> 2x2
即1个运动矢量代表16x16的画面的时候，该值取4；1个运动矢量代表8x8的画面的时候，该值取3...以此类推
6.motion_val
运动矢量表存储了一帧视频中的所有运动矢量。
该值的存储方式比较特别：
int16_t (*motion_val[2])[2];为了弄清楚该值究竟是怎么存的，花了我好一阵子功夫...
注释中给了一段代码：
int mv_sample_log2= 4 - motion_subsample_log2; int mb_width= (width+15)>>4; int mv_stride= (mb_width << mv_sample_log2) + 1; motion_val[direction][x + y*mv_stride][0->mv_x, 1->mv_y];
大概知道了该数据的结构：
1.首先分为两个列表L0和L1
2.每个列表（L0或L1）存储了一系列的MV（每个MV对应一个画面，大小由motion_subsample_log2决定）
3.每个MV分为横坐标和纵坐标（x,y）
注意，在FFMPEG中MV和MB在存储的结构上是没有什么关联的，第1个MV是屏幕上左上角画面的MV（画面的大小取决于motion_subsample_log2），第2个MV是屏幕上第1行第2列的画面的MV，以此类推。因此在一个宏块（16x16）的运动矢量很有可能如下图所示（line代表一行运动矢量的个数）：
//例如8x8划分的运动矢量与宏块的关系： //------------------------- //| | | //|mv[x] |mv[x+1] | //------------------------- //| | | //|mv[x+line]|mv[x+line+1]| //-------------------------
7.mb_type
宏块类型表存储了一帧视频中的所有宏块的类型。其存储方式和QP表差不多。只不过其是uint32类型的，而QP表是uint8类型的。每个宏块对应一个宏块类型变量。
宏块类型如下定义所示：
//The following defines may change, don't expect compatibility if you use them. #define MB_TYPE_INTRA4x4 0x0001 #define MB_TYPE_INTRA16x16 0x0002 //FIXME H.264-specific #define MB_TYPE_INTRA_PCM 0x0004 //FIXME H.264-specific #define MB_TYPE_16x16 0x0008 #define MB_TYPE_16x8 0x0010 #define MB_TYPE_8x16 0x0020 #define MB_TYPE_8x8 0x0040 #define MB_TYPE_INTERLACED 0x0080 #define MB_TYPE_DIRECT2 0x0100 //FIXME #define MB_TYPE_ACPRED 0x0200 #define MB_TYPE_GMC 0x0400 #define MB_TYPE_SKIP 0x0800 #define MB_TYPE_P0L0 0x1000 #define MB_TYPE_P1L0 0x2000 #define MB_TYPE_P0L1 0x4000 #define MB_TYPE_P1L1 0x8000 #define MB_TYPE_L0 (MB_TYPE_P0L0 | MB_TYPE_P1L0) #define MB_TYPE_L1 (MB_TYPE_P0L1 | MB_TYPE_P1L1) #define MB_TYPE_L0L1 (MB_TYPE_L0 | MB_TYPE_L1) #define MB_TYPE_QUANT 0x00010000 #define MB_TYPE_CBP 0x00020000 //Note bits 24-31 are reserved for codec specific use (h264 ref0, mpeg1 0mv, ...)一个宏块如果包含上述定义中的一种或两种类型，则其对应的宏块变量的对应位会被置1。
注：一个宏块可以包含好几种类型，但是有些类型是不能重复包含的，比如说一个宏块不可能既是16x16又是8x8。
8.ref_index
运动估计参考帧列表存储了一帧视频中所有宏块的参考帧索引。这个列表其实在比较早的压缩编码标准中是没有什么用的。只有像H.264这样的编码标准才有多参考帧的概念。但是这个字段目前我还没有研究透。只是知道每个宏块包含有4个该值，该值反映的是参考帧的索引。以后有机会再进行细研究吧。
在这里展示一下自己做的码流分析软件的运行结果。将上文介绍的几个列表图像化显示了出来（在这里是使用MFC的绘图函数画出来的）
