PORecord RTSP stream with FFmpeg libavformat
text
Body
copied!<p>I'm trying to record RTSP stream from Axis camera with FFmpeg libavformat. I can grab video from files and then save it to another file, this is OK. But camera sends strange data, FPS is 100 and camera sends every 4th frame so result FPS is about 25. But libavformat set packets dts/pts for 90000 fps (default?) and new file stream has 100fps. Result is one hour video with only 100 frames.</p> <p>Here is my code</p> <pre><code>#include <stdio.h> #include <stdlib.h> #include <libavcodec/avcodec.h> #include <libavformat/avformat.h> #include <libavformat/avio.h> int main(int argc, char** argv) { AVFormatContext* context = avformat_alloc_context(); int video_stream_index; av_register_all(); avcodec_register_all(); avformat_network_init(); //open rtsp if(avformat_open_input(&context, "rtsp://195.200.199.8/mpeg4/media.amp",NULL,NULL) != 0){ return EXIT_FAILURE; } if(avformat_find_stream_info(context,NULL) < 0){ return EXIT_FAILURE; } //search video stream for(int i =0;i<context->nb_streams;i++){ if(context->streams[i]->codec->codec_type == AVMEDIA_TYPE_VIDEO) video_stream_index = i; } AVPacket packet; av_init_packet(&packet); //open output file AVOutputFormat* fmt = av_guess_format(NULL,"test2.avi",NULL); AVFormatContext* oc = avformat_alloc_context(); oc->oformat = fmt; avio_open2(&oc->pb, "test.avi", AVIO_FLAG_WRITE,NULL,NULL); AVStream* stream=NULL; int cnt = 0; //start reading packets from stream and write them to file av_read_play(context);//play RTSP while(av_read_frame(context,&packet)>=0 && cnt <100){//read 100 frames if(packet.stream_index == video_stream_index){//packet is video if(stream == NULL){//create stream in file stream = avformat_new_stream(oc,context->streams[video_stream_index]->codec->codec); avcodec_copy_context(stream->codec,context->streams[video_stream_index]->codec); stream->sample_aspect_ratio = context->streams[video_stream_index]->codec->sample_aspect_ratio; avformat_write_header(oc,NULL); } packet.stream_index = stream->id; av_write_frame(oc,&packet); cnt++; } av_free_packet(&packet); av_init_packet(&packet); } av_read_pause(context); av_write_trailer(oc); avio_close(oc->pb); avformat_free_context(oc); return (EXIT_SUCCESS); } </code></pre> <p>Result file is here: <a href="http://dl.dropbox.com/u/1243577/test.avi">http://dl.dropbox.com/u/1243577/test.avi</a></p> <p>Thanks for any advice</p>
