Detailed Description

Timecode support.

Timecodes are passed to/from libquicktime in the same format as they are stored in the file: 32 bit unsigned integers. For the meaning of the bits, see the section "Timecode Sample Data" in the Quicktime file format specification.

Function Documentation

void lqt_add_timecode_track ( quicktime_t * file,
int track,
uint32_t flags,
int framerate )
 

Attach a timecode track to a video track.

Parameters:
file   A quicktime handle
track   Video track index (starting with 0)
flags   Zero or more of the LQT_TIMECODE_* flags
framerate   The integer framerate

If the format (e.g. AVI) doesn't support timecode, this function emits a warning.

Since 1.1.0

void lqt_write_timecode ( quicktime_t * file,
int track,
uint32_t timecode )
 

Write a timecode for the next video frame to be encoded.

Parameters:
file   A quicktime handle
track   Video track index (starting with 0)

Call this function before encoding the actual video frame.

Since 1.1.0

int lqt_has_timecode_track ( quicktime_t * file,
int track,
uint32_t * flags,
int * framerate )
 

Check, if a video track has timecodes.

Parameters:
file   A quicktime handle
track   Video track index (starting with 0)
flags   If non NULL returns zero or more of the LQT_TIMECODE_* flags
framerate   If non NULL returns the integer framerate
Returns:
1 if timecodes are available, 0 else

Since 1.1.0

int lqt_read_timecode ( quicktime_t * file,
int track,
uint32_t * timecode )
 

Read the timecode for the next frame to be decoded.

Parameters:
file   A quicktime handle
track   Video track index (starting with 0)
timecode   Returns the timecode if available
Returns:
1 if a timecode is available for this frame, 0 else

For frames, which have no timecode attached, you can increment the last timecode accordingly in your application. Call this function before decoding the actual video frame.

Since 1.1.0

const char * lqt_get_timecode_tape_name ( quicktime_t * file,
int track )
 

Get the tape name stored in a timecode track.

Parameters:
file   A quicktime handle
track   Video track index (starting with 0)
Returns:
pointer to tape name (might be NULL if no tape name)

Returned pointer should remain valid as long as the file is open. Do not free it.

Since 1.1.0

void lqt_set_timecode_tape_name ( quicktime_t * file,
int track,
const char * tapename )
 

Set the tapename for a timecode track.

Parameters:
file   A quicktime handle
track   Video track index (starting with 0)
tapename   Tape name string

A copy is made of the string passed in

Since 1.1.0

int lqt_get_timecode_track_enabled ( quicktime_t * file,
int track )
 

Get the enabled flag of a timecode track.

Parameters:
file   A quicktime handle
track   Video track index (starting with 0)
Returns:
1 if enabled, 0 if not enabled

Since 1.1.0

void lqt_set_timecode_track_enabled ( quicktime_t * file,
int track,
int enabled )
 

Enable or disable a timecode track.

Parameters:
file   A quicktime handle
track   Video track index (starting with 0)
enabled   0=>disable otherwise enable

Since 1.1.0
