=head1 NAME
 
ffmpeg-utils - FFmpeg utilities
 
=head1 DESCRIPTION
 
 
This document describes some generic features and utilities provided
by the libavutil library.
 
 
 
=head1 SYNTAX
 
 
This section documents the syntax and formats employed by the FFmpeg
libraries and tools.
 
 
 
=head2 Quoting and escaping
 
 
FFmpeg adopts the following quoting and escaping mechanism, unless
explicitly specified. The following rules are applied:
 
 
=over 4
 
 
=item *
 
C<'> and C<\> are special characters (respectively used for
quoting and escaping). In addition to them, there might be other
special characters depending on the specific syntax where the escaping
and quoting are employed.
 
 
=item *
 
A special character is escaped by prefixing it with a '\'.
 
 
=item *
 
All characters enclosed between '' are included literally in the
parsed string. The quote character C<'> itself cannot be quoted,
so you may need to close the quote and escape it.
 
 
=item *
 
Leading and trailing whitespaces, unless escaped or quoted, are
removed from the parsed string.
 
=back
 
 
Note that you may need to add a second level of escaping when using
the command line or a script, which depends on the syntax of the
adopted shell language.
 
The function C<av_get_token> defined in
F<libavutil/avstring.h> can be used to parse a token quoted or
escaped according to the rules defined above.
 
The tool F<tools/ffescape> in the FFmpeg source tree can be used
to automatically quote or escape a string in a script.
 
 
=head3 Examples
 
 
 
=over 4
 
 
=item *
 
Escape the string C<Crime d'Amour> containing the C<'> special
character:
Crime d\'Amour
 
 
 
=item *
 
The string above contains a quote, so the C<'> needs to be escaped
when quoting it:
'Crime d'\''Amour'
 
 
 
=item *
 
Include leading or trailing whitespaces using quoting:
' this string starts and ends with whitespaces '
 
 
 
=item *
 
Escaping and quoting can be mixed together:
' The string '\'string\'' is a string '
 
 
 
=item *
 
To include a literal C<\> you can use either escaping or quoting:
'c:\foo' can be written as c:\\foo
 
 
=back
 
 
 
 
=head2 Date
 
 
The accepted syntax is:
[(YYYY-MM-DD|YYYYMMDD)[T|t| ]]((HH:MM:SS[.m...]]])|(HHMMSS[.m...]]]))[Z]
now
 
 
If the value is "now" it takes the current time.
 
Time is local time unless Z is appended, in which case it is
interpreted as UTC.
If the year-month-day part is not specified it takes the current
year-month-day.
 
 
 
=head2 Time duration
 
 
There are two accepted syntaxes for expressing time duration.
 
[-][<HH>:]<MM>:<SS>[.<m>...]
 
 
I<HH> expresses the number of hours, I<MM> the number of minutes
for a maximum of 2 digits, and I<SS> the number of seconds for a
maximum of 2 digits. The I<m> at the end expresses decimal value for
I<SS>.
 
I<or>
 
[-]<S>+[.<m>...]
 
 
I<S> expresses the number of seconds, with the optional decimal part
I<m>.
 
In both expressions, the optional B<-> indicates negative duration.
 
 
=head3 Examples
 
 
The following examples are all valid time duration:
 
 
=over 4
 
 
=item B<55>
 
55 seconds
 
 
=item B<12:03:45>
 
12 hours, 03 minutes and 45 seconds
 
 
=item B<23.189>
 
23.189 seconds
 
=back
 
 
 
 
=head2 Video size
 
Specify the size of the sourced video, it may be a string of the form
I<width>xI<height>, or the name of a size abbreviation.
 
The following abbreviations are recognized:

=head2 Video rate
 
 
Specify the frame rate of a video, expressed as the number of frames
generated per second. It has to be a string in the format
I<frame_rate_num>/I<frame_rate_den>, an integer number, a float
number or a valid video frame rate abbreviation.
 
The following abbreviations are recognized:
 
=over 4

=item B<ntsc-film>
 
24000/1001
 
=back
 
 
 
 
=head2 Ratio
 
 
A ratio can be expressed as an expression, or in the form
I<numerator>:I<denominator>.
 
Note that a ratio with infinite (1/0) or negative value is
considered valid, so you should check on the returned value if you
want to exclude those values.
 
The undefined value can be expressed using the "0:0" string.
 
 
 
=head2 Color
 
 
It can be the name of a color as defined below (case insensitive match) or a
C<[0x|#]RRGGBB[AA]> sequence, possibly followed by @ and a string
representing the alpha component.
 
The alpha component may be a string composed by "0x" followed by an
hexadecimal number or a decimal number between 0.0 and 1.0, which
represents the opacity value (B<0x00> or B<0.0> means completely
transparent, B<0xff> or B<1.0> completely opaque). If the alpha
component is not specified then B<0xff> is assumed.
 
The string B<random> will result in a random color.
 
The following names of colors are recognized:

=head2 Channel Layout
 
 
A channel layout specifies the spatial disposition of the channels in
a multi-channel audio stream. To specify a channel layout, FFmpeg
makes use of a special syntax.
 
Individual channels are identified by an id, as given by the table
below:
 
=over 4
 
 
=item B<FL>

A custom channel layout can be specified as a sequence of terms, separated by
'+' or '|'. Each term can be:
 
=over 4
 
 
=item *
 
the name of a standard channel layout (e.g. B<mono>,
B<stereo>, B<4.0>, B<quad>, B<5.0>, etc.)
 
 
=item *
 
the name of a single channel (e.g. B<FL>, B<FR>, B<FC>, B<LFE>, etc.)
 
 
=item *
 
a number of channels, in decimal, optionally followed by 'c', yielding
the default channel layout for that number of channels (see the
function C<av_get_default_channel_layout>)
 
 
=item *
 
a channel layout mask, in hexadecimal starting with "0x" (see the
C<AV_CH_*> macros in F<libavutil/channel_layout.h>.
 
=back
 
 
Starting from libavutil version 53 the trailing character "c" to
specify a number of channels will be required, while a channel layout
mask could also be specified as a decimal number (if and only if not
followed by "c").
 
See also the function C<av_get_channel_layout> defined in
F<libavutil/channel_layout.h>.
 
 
=head1 EXPRESSION EVALUATION
 
 
When evaluating an arithmetic expression, FFmpeg uses an internal
formula evaluator, implemented through the F<libavutil/eval.h>
interface.
 
An expression may contain unary, binary operators, constants, and
functions.
 
Two expressions I<expr1> and I<expr2> can be combined to form
another expression "I<expr1>;I<expr2>".
I<expr1> and I<expr2> are evaluated in turn, and the new
expression evaluates to the value of I<expr2>.
 
The following binary operators are available: C<+>, C<->,
C<*>, C</>, C<^>.
 
The following unary operators are available: C<+>, C<->.
 
The following functions are available:
 
=over 4
 
 
=item B<abs(x)>
 
Compute absolute value of I<x>.
 
 
=item B<acos(x)>
 
Compute arccosine of I<x>.
 
 
=item B<asin(x)>
 
Compute arcsine of I<x>.
 
 
=item B<atan(x)>
 
Compute arctangent of I<x>.

The results of the evaluation of I<x> and I<y> are converted to
integers before executing the bitwise operation.
 
Note that both the conversion to integer and the conversion back to
floating point can lose precision. Beware of unexpected results for
large numbers (usually 2^53 and larger).

Return 1 if I<x> is greater than or equal to I<y>, 0 otherwise.
 
 
=item B<hypot(x, y)>
 
This function is similar to the C function with the same name; it returns
"sqrt(I<x>*I<x> + I<y>*I<y>)", the length of the hypotenuse of a
right triangle with sides of length I<x> and I<y>, or the distance of the
point (I<x>, I<y>) from the origin.

=item B<random(x)>
 
Return a pseudo random value between 0.0 and 1.0. I<x> is the index of the
internal variable which will be used to save the seed/state.
 
 
=item B<root(expr, max)>
 
Find an input value for which the function represented by I<expr>
with argument I<ld(0)> is 0 in the interval 0..I<max>.
 
The expression in I<expr> must denote a continuous function or the
result is undefined.
 
I<ld(0)> is used to represent the function input value, which means
that the given expression will be evaluated multiple times with
various input values that the expression can access through
C<ld(0)>. When the expression evaluates to 0 then the
corresponding input value will be returned.
 
 
=item B<sin(x)>

Compute expression C<1/(1 + exp(4*x))>.
 
 
=item B<st(var, expr)>
 
Allow to store the value of the expression I<expr> in an internal
variable. I<var> specifies the number of the variable where to
store the value, and it is a value ranging from 0 to 9. The function
returns the value stored in the internal variable.
Note, Variables are currently not shared between expressions.
 
 
=item B<tan(x)>

=item B<taylor(expr, x)>
 
 
=item B<taylor(expr, x, id)>
 
Evaluate a Taylor series at I<x>, given an expression representing
the C<ld(id)>-th derivative of a function at 0.
 
When the series does not converge the result is undefined.
 
I<ld(id)> is used to represent the derivative order in I<expr>,
which means that the given expression will be evaluated multiple times
with various input values that the expression can access through
C<ld(id)>. If I<id> is not specified then 0 is assumed.
 
Note, when you have the derivatives at y instead of 0,
C<taylor(expr, x-y)> can be used.
 
 
=item B<time(0)>
 
Return the current (wallclock) time in seconds.
 
 
=item B<trunc(expr)>
 
Round the value of expression I<expr> towards zero to the nearest
integer. For example, "trunc(-1.5)" is "-1.0".
 
 
=item B<while(cond, expr)>
 
Evaluate expression I<expr> while the expression I<cond> is
non-zero, and returns the value of the last I<expr> evaluation, or
NAN if I<cond> was always false.

The following constants are available:
 
=over 4
 
 
=item B<PI>
 
area of the unit disc, approximately 3.14
 
=item B<E>
 
exp(1) (Euler's number), approximately 2.718
 
=item B<PHI>
 
golden ratio (1+sqrt(5))/2, approximately 1.618
 
=back
 
 
Assuming that an expression is considered "true" if it has a non-zero
value, note that:
 
C<*> works like AND
 
C<+> works like OR
 
For example the construct:
if (A AND B) then C
 
is equivalent to:
if(A*B, C)
 
 
In your C code, you can extend the list of unary and binary functions,
and define recognized constants, so that they are available for your
expressions.
 
The evaluator also recognizes the International System unit prefixes.
If 'i' is appended after the prefix, binary prefixes are used, which
are based on powers of 1024 instead of powers of 1000.
The 'B' postfix multiplies the value by 8, and can be appended after a
unit prefix or used alone. This allows using for example 'KB', 'MiB',
'G' and 'B' as number postfix.
 
The list of available International System prefixes follows, with
indication of the corresponding powers of 10 and of 2.
