You can also get a tarball of the text files and source code or just the source. There are printable HTML files along the way as well as old school ASCII files. You should know some basics about multimedia things like waveforms and such, but you don't need to know a lot, as I explain a lot of those concepts in this tutorial. At the very least you should know C and have some idea about concepts like queues, mutexes, and so on. This tutorial is meant for people with a decent programming background. You will need to download and install the SDL development libraries for your system in order to compile the programs in this tutorial. SDL is an excellent cross-platform multimedia library that's used in MPEG playback software, emulators, and many video games. In making the player, we will be using SDL to output the audio and video of the media file. By the time we are finished, we will have a working video player written in less than 1000 lines of code! The source files will show you how the real program works, how we move all the pieces around, as well as showing you the technical details that are unimportant to the tutorial. Each tutorial will have a C file so you can download it, compile it, and follow along at home. In each tutorial, I'll introduce a new idea (or two) and explain how we implement it. This tutorial will begin with an updated version of the original tutorial, written by Martin Böhme (I have stolen liberally borrowed from that work), and work from there to developing a working video player, based on Fabrice Bellard's ffplay.c. It is a simple C program that implements a complete video player using ffmpeg. There is a sample program that comes with ffmpeg called ffplay.
So, when I decided to learn about ffmpeg, and in the process about how digital video and audio applications work, I decided to document the process and present it as a tutorial. There is a single tutorial that shows the basics of ffmpeg and auto-generated doxygen documents. The only prolem is that documentation is basically nonexistent.
It's simple, written in C, fast, and can decode almost any codec you'll find in use today, as well as encode several other formats. This can make media applications much simpler to write. ffmpeg takes care of all the hard work of video processing by doing all the decoding, encoding, muxing and demuxing for you.
