在上文FFmpeg 结构体学习(三)： AVPacket 分析我们学习了AVPacket结构体的相关内容。本文，我们将讲述一下AVFrame。
AVFrame是包含码流参数较多的结构体。下面我们来分析一下该结构体里重要变量的含义和作用。
一、源码整理
首先我们先看一下结构体AVFrame的定义的结构体源码(位于libavcodec/avcodec.h)：

二、AVFrame 重点字段
AVFrame结构体一般用于存储原始数据（即非压缩数据，例如对视频来说是YUV，RGB，对音频来说是PCM），此外还包含了一些相关的信息。比如说，解码的时候存储了宏块类型表，QP表，运动矢量表等数据。编码的时候也存储了相关的数据。因此在使用FFMPEG进行码流分析的时候，AVFrame是一个很重要的结构体。
下面看几个主要变量的作用（在这里考虑解码的情况）：
uint8_t *data[AV_NUM_DATA_POINTERS]：解码后原始数据（对视频来说是YUV，RGB，对音频来说是PCM） int linesize[AV_NUM_DATA_POINTERS]：data中“一行”数据的大小。注意：未必等于图像的宽，一般大于图像的宽。 int width, height：视频帧宽和高（1920x1080,1280x720...） int nb_samples：音频的一个AVFrame中可能包含多个音频帧，在此标记包含了几个 int format：解码后原始数据类型（YUV420，YUV422，RGB24...） int key_frame：是否是关键帧 enum AVPictureType pict_type：帧类型（I,B,P...） AVRational sample_aspect_ratio：宽高比（16:9，4:3...） int64_t pts：显示时间戳 int coded_picture_number：编码帧序号 int display_picture_number：显示帧序号 int8_t *qscale_table：QP表 uint8_t *mbskip_table：跳过宏块表 int16_t (*motion_val[2])[2]：运动矢量表 uint32_t *mb_type：宏块类型表 short *dct_coeff：DCT系数，这个没有提取过 int8_t *ref_index[2]：运动估计参考帧列表（貌似H.264这种比较新的标准才会涉及到多参考帧） int interlaced_frame：是否是隔行扫描 uint8_t motion_subsample_log2：一个宏块中的运动矢量采样个数，取log的
其他的变量不再一一列举，源代码中都有详细的说明。在这里重点分析一下几个需要一定的理解的变量：
1.data[]
对于packed格式的数据（例如RGB24），会存到data[0]里面。
对于planar格式的数据（例如YUV420P），则会分开成data[0]，data[1]，data[2]...（YUV420P中data[0]存Y，data[1]存U，data[2]存V）
2.pict_type
包含以下类型：
enum AVPictureType { AV_PICTURE_TYPE_NONE = 0, ///< Undefined AV_PICTURE_TYPE_I, ///< Intra AV_PICTURE_TYPE_P, ///< Predicted AV_PICTURE_TYPE_B, ///< Bi-dir predicted AV_PICTURE_TYPE_S, ///< S(GMC)-VOP MPEG4 AV_PICTURE_TYPE_SI, ///< Switching Intra AV_PICTURE_TYPE_SP, ///< Switching Predicted AV_PICTURE_TYPE_BI, ///< BI type };
3.sample_aspect_ratio
宽高比是一个分数，FFMPEG中用AVRational表达分数：
/** * rational number numerator/denominator */ typedef struct AVRational{ int num; ///< numerator int den; ///< denominator } AVRational;
4.qscale_table
QP表指向一块内存，里面存储的是每个宏块的QP值。宏块的标号是从左往右，一行一行的来的。每个宏块对应1个QP。
qscale_table[0]就是第1行第1列宏块的QP值；qscale_table[1]就是第1行第2列宏块的QP值；qscale_table[2]就是第1行第3列宏块的QP值。以此类推...
宏块的个数用下式计算：
注：宏块大小是16x16的。
每行宏块数：
int mb_stride = pCodecCtx->width/16+1
宏块的总数：
int mb_sum = ((pCodecCtx->height+15)>>4)*(pCodecCtx->width/16+1)
