Detailed Description

Timecode definitions.

Timecodes are usually associated with video frames and represent a unique time (e.g. Wall clock time) within the whole footage.

Since 1.1.0

Macro Definition Documentation

Typedef Documentation

gavl_timecode_t

typedef uint64_t gavl_timecode_t

Typedef for timecodes.

Function Documentation

gavl_timecode_format_copy()

GAVL_PUBLIC void gavl_timecode_format_copy	(	gavl_timecode_format_t *	dst,
		const gavl_timecode_format_t *	src
	)

Copy one timecode format to another.

Parameters

dst	Destination format
src	Source format

gavl_timecode_to_hmsf()

GAVL_PUBLIC void gavl_timecode_to_hmsf	(	gavl_timecode_t	tc,
		int *	hours,
		int *	minutes,
		int *	seconds,
		int *	frames
	)

Extract the time part of the timecode.

Parameters

tc	A timecode
hours	If non NULL, returns the hours
minutes	If non NULL, returns the minutes
seconds	If non NULL, returns the seconds
frames	If non NULL, returns the frames

gavl_timecode_to_ymd()

GAVL_PUBLIC void gavl_timecode_to_ymd	(	gavl_timecode_t	tc,
		int *	year,
		int *	month,
		int *	day
	)

Extract the date part of the timecode.

Parameters

tc	A timecode
year	If non NULL, returns the year
month	If non NULL, returns the month
day	If non NULL, returns the day

gavl_timecode_from_hmsf()

GAVL_PUBLIC void gavl_timecode_from_hmsf	(	gavl_timecode_t *	tc,
		int	hours,
		int	minutes,
		int	seconds,
		int	frames
	)

Set the time part of the timecode.

Parameters

tc	A timecode
hours	The hours
minutes	The minutes
seconds	The seconds
frames	The frames

gavl_timecode_from_ymd()

GAVL_PUBLIC void gavl_timecode_from_ymd	(	gavl_timecode_t *	tc,
		int	year,
		int	month,
		int	day
	)

Set the date part of the timecode.

Parameters

tc	A timecode
year	The year
month	The month
day	The day

gavl_timecode_to_framecount()

GAVL_PUBLIC int64_t gavl_timecode_to_framecount	(	const gavl_timecode_format_t *	tf,
		gavl_timecode_t	tc
	)

Get the frame count from the timecode.

Parameters

tf	The timecode format
tc	A timecode

Returns

The frame count

If the time is larger than 24 hours, the framecount is calculated from 00:00:00, January 1, 1970

gavl_timecode_from_framecount()

GAVL_PUBLIC gavl_timecode_t gavl_timecode_from_framecount	(	const gavl_timecode_format_t *	tf,
		int64_t	fc
	)

Get a timecode from the frame count.

Parameters

tf	The timecode format
fc	The frame count

Returns

The timecode corresponding to the framecount

If the date fields are non-zero, the framecount is calculated from 00:00:00, January 1, 1970

gavl_timecode_dump()

GAVL_PUBLIC void gavl_timecode_dump	(	const gavl_timecode_format_t *	tf,
		gavl_timecode_t	tc
	)

Dump a timecode to stderr.

Parameters

tf	The timecode format
tc	A timecode

This is used mainly for debugging

gavl_timecode_prettyprint()

GAVL_PUBLIC void gavl_timecode_prettyprint	(	const gavl_timecode_format_t *	tf,
		gavl_timecode_t	tc,
		char	str[GAVL_TIMECODE_STRING_LEN]
	)

Print a full timecode into a string.

Parameters

tf	The timecode format
tc	A timecode
str	String where the timecode will be printed

This prints the full timecode (including calendar date if available). For real-life applications, you might want to try gavl_timecode_prettyprint_short instead.

gavl_timecode_prettyprint_short()

GAVL_PUBLIC void gavl_timecode_prettyprint_short	(	gavl_timecode_t	tc,
		char	str[GAVL_TIMECODE_STRING_LEN_SHORT]
	)

Print a short timecode into a string.

Parameters

tc	A timecode
str	String where the timecode will be printed
