61 * The data is the AVStereo3D struct defined in libavutil/stereo3d.h.

70 * The data is the AVDownmixInfo struct defined in libavutil/downmix_info.h.

74 * ReplayGain information in the form of the AVReplayGain struct.

95 * This structure describes decoded (raw) audio or video data.
97 * AVFrame must be allocated using av_frame_alloc(). Note that this only
98 * allocates the AVFrame itself, the buffers for the data must be managed
99 * through other means (see below).
100 * AVFrame must be freed with av_frame_free().
102 * AVFrame is typically allocated once and then reused multiple times to hold
103 * different data (e.g. a single AVFrame to hold frames received from a
104 * decoder). In such a case, av_frame_unref() will free any references held by
105 * the frame and reset it to its original clean state before it
108 * The data described by an AVFrame is usually reference counted through the
109 * AVBuffer API. The underlying buffer references are stored in AVFrame.buf /
110 * AVFrame.extended_buf. An AVFrame is considered to be reference counted if at
111 * least one reference is set, i.e. if AVFrame.buf[0] != NULL. In such a case,
112 * every single data plane must be contained in one of the buffers in
113 * AVFrame.buf or AVFrame.extended_buf.
114 * There may be a single buffer for all the data, or one separate buffer for
115 * each plane, or anything in between.
117 * sizeof(AVFrame) is not a part of the public ABI, so new fields may be added
118 * to the end with a minor bump.
119 * Similarly fields that are marked as to be only accessed by
120 * av_opt_ptr() can be reordered. This allows 2 forks to add fields
121 * without breaking compatibility with each other.
