FFmpeg架构全面分析

news 2025/7/12 19:47:22

一、简介

它的官网为：https://ffmpeg.org/，由Fabrice Bellard（法国著名程序员Born in 1972）于2000年发起创建的开源项目。该人是个牛人，在很多领域都有很大的贡献。

FFmpeg是多媒体领域的万能工具。只要涉及音视频领域的处理，基本上没有它做不了的事情！通俗点讲，从视频录制、视频编辑再到播放，它都能做！

最近比较火的抖音，还有国内的一些视频点播厂商，像爱奇艺、腾讯视频、优酷视频，还有播放器，像QQ影音、暴风影音等，都离不开它！否则非常痛苦！为什么呢？

因为又要招一大帮人来把多媒体领域内的基础工具（音视频编解码器、文件格式和协议库、滤镜库等等）实现掉。

二、源码获取及编译

2.1、源码获取

git clone https://github.com/FFmpeg/FFmpeg.git正克隆到 'FFmpeg'...
remote: Enumerating objects: 694571, done.
remote: Counting objects: 100% (234/234), done.
remote: Compressing objects: 100% (96/96), done.
remote: Total 694571 (delta 141), reused 226 (delta 138), pack-reused 694337
接收对象中: 100% (694571/694571), 348.75 MiB | 798.00 KiB/s, 完成.
处理 delta 中: 100% (545422/545422), 完成.

2.2、编译安装

1、执行X86下需执行：./configure --disable-x86asm命令进行配置 2、执行make -j16命令进行编译。 3、执行sudo make install命令进行安装。

执行过程中会有如下内容输出：

4、执行ffmpeg -version命令查看版本信息

xxx@xxx:~/workspace/learn/FFmpeg/FFmpeg$ ffmpeg -version
ffmpeg version N-111280-gd51b0580e4 Copyright (c) 2000-2023 the FFmpeg developers
built with gcc 7 (Ubuntu 7.5.0-3ubuntu1~18.04)

三、架构及流程分析

3.1、整体架构

1、AVUtil：核心工具库，许多其他模块都会依赖该库做一些基本的音视频处理操作，如log信息、版本信息等。

2、AVFormat：文件格式和协议库，封装了Protocol层和Demuxer、Muxer层。其中实现了目前多媒体领域中的绝大多数媒体封装格式，包括封装和解封装，如MP4、FLV、KV、TS等文件封装格式，RTMP、RTSP、MMS、HLS等网络协议封装格式。FFmpeg是否支持某种媒体封装格式，取决于编译时是否包含了该格式的封装库。根据实际需求，可进行媒体封装格式的扩展，增加自己定制的封装格式，即在AVFormat中增加自己的封装处理模块。

3、AVCodec：编解码库，封装了Codec库，AVCodec中实现了目前多媒体领域绝大多数常用的编解码格式，即支持编码，也支持解码。AVCodec除了支持MPEG4、AAC、MJPEG等自带的媒体编解码格式之外，还支持第三方的编解码器，如H.264（AVC）编码，需要使用x264编码器；H.265（HEVC）编码，需要使用x264编码器；MP3（mp3lame）编码，需要使用libmp3lame编码器。如果希望增加自己的编码格式，或者硬件编解码，则需要在AVCodec中增加相应的编解码模块。默认不会添加libx264、libfdk_aac等三方库的，但可以插件形式添加，然后提供统一接口。

4、AVFilter：提供了一个通用的音频、视频、字幕等滤镜处理框架。在AVFilter中，滤镜框架可以有多个输入和多个输出。

5、AVDevice：输入输出设备库，音/视频的输入输出需要确保该模块已经打开

6、SwrRessample：该模块可用于音频重采样，可以对数字音频进行声道数、数据格式、采样率、等多种基本信息的转换，同时支持音频通道布局转换与布局调整。

7、SWScale：提供了高级别的图像转换API，例如它允许进行图像缩放和像素格式转换，常见于将图像从1080p转换成720p或者480p等的缩放，或者将图像数据从YUV420p转换成YUYV，或者YUV转RGB等图像格式转换。

8、PostProc：该模块可用于进行后期处理，当我们使用AVFilter的时候需要打开该模块的开关，因为Filter中会使用到该模块的一些基础函数。

3.2、音视频播放流程

3.3、组件注册流程

3.4、解复用流程

1、avformat_alloc_context()：负责申请一个AVFormatContext结构的内存,并进行简单初始化。

2、avformat_free_context()：释放该结构里的所有东西以及该结构本身。

3、avformat_close_input()：关闭解复用器。关闭后就不再需要使用avformat_free_context 进行释放。

4、avformat_open_input()：打开输入视频文件。

5、avformat_find_stream_info()：获取音视频文件信息。

6、av_read_frame()：读取音视频包。

7、avformat_seek_file()：定位文件。

8、av_seek_frame()：定位文件。

3.5、解封装流程

ffmpeg 的 Mux 主要分为三步操作：

1、avformat_write_header：写文件头

2、av_write_frame/av_interleaved_write_frame：写packet

3、av_write_trailer：写⽂件尾

3.6、编码流程

1、avcodec_find_encoder：根据指定的AVCodecID查找注册的编码器。

2、avcodec_alloc_context3：为AVCodecContext分配内存。

3、avcodec_open2：打开编码器。

4、avcodec_send_frame：将AVFrame⾮压缩数据给编码器。

5、avcodec_receive_packet：获取到编码后的AVPacket数据，收到的packet需要⾃⼰释放内存。

6、av_frame_get_buffer: 为⾳频或视频帧分配新的buffer。在调⽤这个函数之前，必须在AVFame上设置好以下属性：format(视频为像素格式，⾳频为样本格式)、nb_samples(样本个数，针对⾳频)、channel_layout(通道类型，针对⾳频)、width/height(宽⾼，针对视频）。

7、av_frame_make_writable：确保AVFrame是可写的，使av_frame_make_writable()的问题是，在最坏的情况下，它会在您使⽤encode再次更改整个输⼊frame之前复制它. 如果frame不可写，av_frame_make_writable()将分配新的缓冲区，并复制这个输⼊input frame数据，避免和编码器需要缓存该帧时造成冲突。

8、av_samples_fill_arrays：填充⾳频帧。

3.7、解码流程

1、avcodec_alloc_context3():分配解码器上下文 avcodec_find_decoder()：根据ID查找解码器。

2、avcodec_find_decoder_by_name()：根据解码器名字 avcodec_open2()：打开编解码器。

3、avcodec_decode_video2()：解码一帧视频数据。

4、avcodec_decode_audio4()：解码一帧音频数据。

5、avcodec_send_packet()：发送编码数据包 avcodec_receive_frame(): 接收解码后数据。

6、avcodec_free_context()：释放解码器上下文，包含了 avcodec_close()。

7、avcodec_close()：关闭解码器。

四、重点数据结构分析

4.1、重点数据结构

4.1.1、AVFormatContext

封装格式上下文结构体，也是统领全局的结构体，保存了视频文件封装格式相关信息。AVInputFormat。

4.1.6、AVPacket

4.2、重点数据结构之间的关系

4.2.1、AVFormatContext和AVInputFormat之间的关系

AVFormatContext API调用 AVInputFormat 主要是FFMPEG内部调用数据： AVFormatContext 封装格式上下文结构体 struct AVInputFormat iformat;

方法： AVInputFormat 每种封装格式（例如FLV, MKV, MP4） int (read_header)(struct AVFormatContext * ); int (*read_packet)(struct AVFormatContext *, AVPacket *pkt);

4.2.2、AVCodecContext和AVCodec之间的关系

数据： AVCodecContext 编码器上下文结构体 struct AVCodec codec;

方法： AVCodec 每种视频（音频）编解码器 int (decode)(AVCodecContext *, void *outdata, int *outdata_size, AVPacket *avpkt); int (*encode2)(AVCodecContext *avctx, AVPacket *avpkt, const AVFrame *frame, int *got_packet_ptr);
