== ffmpeg-video



Chicken Scheme egg with bindings for ffmpeg designed for computer

vision applications. In essence videos are treated as containers of

images.



Note that this egg binds only to a small subset of ffmpeg that deals

with video. It is used for computer vision where video files have only

a single stream and audio is irrelevant. In addition this egg is

designed to have frame-level accuracy, as such it doesn't support

seeking and computing the video length is linear in the size of the

video and very slow. Because of this it stores the computed video

length of each video along with each video in a file named

'.video-length'.



Note that in keeping with ffmpeg's screwed up convention the first

frame is 1, not 0.



Currently the main limitation of this egg is that it cannot encode

video. One day it will be able to do so.



=== API



(with-ffmpeg-video video-path f)



Call f with an open ffmpeg at video-path.



(ffmpeg-open-video filename)

(ffmpeg-close-video video)



Open and close a video.



(ffmpeg-video-finished? video)

(ffmpeg-video-frame-index video)

(ffmpeg-video-width video)

(ffmpeg-video-height video)

(ffmpeg-video-frame-rate video)



Get information about an open video of an open video.



(ffmpeg-next-frame! video)



Advance the frame of a video.



(ffmpeg-video-frame-data video)

(ffmpeg-video-frame-data-as-imlib video)



Returns an image for the current frame as a PPM or an imlib image. See

the scheme2c-compatibility or imlib eggs respectively.



(video-length video-pathname)



Compute the length of a video in frames. Note that this is a very slow

operation as it must inspect the entire video. Frame-level accuracy

cannot be achieved by seeking. See the note at the beginning of this

document about caching.



(for-each-frame f v)

(for-each-frame-but-last f v)

(for-each-frame-reversed f v)

(for-each-frame-indexed f v)

(for-each-frame-indexed-but-last f v)

(map-frame f v)

(map-frame-but-last f v)

(map-frame-indexed f v)

(map-frame-indexed-but-last f v)



Walk over the frames of a video. Note that this does not fetch any

data, even though decoding must happen for frame-level accuracy, it

simply calls the function with one argument, the frame index. The

indexed versions of these functions also pass an index (guaranteed to

be 0-based) into the current movie.



(for-each-frame-pair individual-f pair-f video-name)

(map-frame-pair individual-f pair-f video-name)



As above this only provides frame indices not data. individual-f is

called once for each frame and pair-f is called on every pair of

frames.



(for-each-imlib-frame-from-video-indexed f video)

(for-each-imlib-frame-from-video-indexed-but-last f video)

(for-each-imlib-frame-pair-from-video individual-f pair-f video)

(for-each-imlib-frame-pair-from-video-indexed individual-f pair-f video)

(map-imlib-frame-from-video-indexed f video)

(map-imlib-frame-pair-from-video individual-f pair-f video)



Iterate over the video as above but the functions are called with both

a frame number and an imlib image of the current frame. The indexed

versions of these functions also pass an index (as the second

arugment) (guaranteed to be 0-based) into the current movie.
