The VideoLAN Forums

Hi,

I wanted to scale the video output from 720x480 to 1200x256 resolution. I tried using libswscale but it is not scaling the output video.

I modified the file under dir vlc\modules\codec\avcodec\video.c and include the header file "# include <libswscale/swscale.h>" and added the following functions sws_getContext() and sws_scale().

These has been added under function picture_t *DecodeVideo( decoder_t *p_dec, block_t **pp_block )after avcodec_decode_video(). But it is not scaling the video output.

Can anybody please help me to scale the output video before displaying, also the necessary steps and functions.

Why this 1200x256 resolution?

Hi j-b,

The video image is circular in nature, and I want to add my routine to make it flat, so the width will become 2*PI*R where R is the radius of the image. This turns to be 1200 in my case. Basically i want to do the post processing of the video output and then only display it. Can you suggest how to do it, I thought of first doing the scaling from 720x480 to 1200x256 so the output display becomes what I want and then do the post processing which is nothing but making it flat. How do I change the display from 720x480 to 1200x256?

Transcode and set the width and heigth.

Hi,

Can you please explain in detail how to do the transcode, any document which I can use to know about the APIs.

I guess VLC itself can be used to perform transcoding.
Don't know much details, but for e.g. we need to do audio conversion of g711 to mp3 and invoke vlc with: I guess you should find more info on their site
