编解码层
1.解码
(1) 注册所有容器格式和 CODEC:av_register_all()
(2) 打开文件:av_open_input_file()
(3) 从文件中提取流信息:av_find_stream_info()
(4) 穷举所有的流，查找其中种类为 CODEC_TYPE_VIDEO
(5) 查找对应的解码器:avcodec_find_decoder()
(6) 打开编解码器:avcodec_open()
(7) 为解码帧分配内存:avcodec_alloc_frame()
(8) 不停地从码流中提取出帧数据:av_read_frame()
(9) 判断帧的类型，对于视频帧调用:avcodec_decode_video()
(10) 解码完后，释放解码器:avcodec_close()
(11) 关闭输入文件:av_close_input_file()

}2.编码
大流程可以划分为输入、输出、转码、播放四大块。
其中转码涉及比较多的处理环节，从图中可以看出，转码功能在整个功能图中占比很大。转码的核心功能在解码和编码两个部分，但在一个可用的示例程序中，编码解码与输入输出是难以分割的。
解复用器为解码器提供输入，解码器会输出原始帧，对原始帧可进行各种复杂的滤镜处理，滤镜处理后的帧经编码器生成编码帧，多路流的编码帧经复用器输出到输出文件。
