Which player plays the sample you provided?

comment:2 by v0lt, 8 years ago

Quick Time Player 7.7.9

comment:3 by Carl Eugen Hoyos, 8 years ago

The QuickTime 7 player I have here refuses to play any avi files, how do you test?

comment:4 by ami_stuff, 8 years ago

I can confirm that this file decodes correctly with QT 7.6 on Win.

Replying to cehoyos:

I ran Quick Time Player 7.7.9 and pulled the file in the player window. The file is played correctly.

This either needs a (trivial) codec or a new colourspace in libswscale.

I think there packet ARGB64BE format. If swap all the bytes of the pixel, we get AV_PIX_FMT_BGRA64LE.

comment:8 by v0lt, 8 years ago

Or change the position of the alpha channel, then we get AV_PIX_FMT_RGBA64BE.

// ARGB64BE -> AV_PIX_FMT_RGBA64BE
uint64_t pixel = ...;
pixel = pixel << 48 | pixel >> 16;

I just sent your patch to the development mailing list, in the future please prepare your patches with git format-patch and send them to ffmpeg-devel, patches are generally ignored on this bug tracker.

I also think they packaged as ARGB64BE indeed.

I'm not sure what the patch proposed is doing exactly, but it seems like it interprets AV_PIX_FMT_RGBA64BE as ARGBBE when codec is b64a.
Wouldn't it make more sense to add a new AV_PIX_FMT_ARGB64BE pixel format?
To also allow conversion from/to this format for example.
But this would probably requires more work to fully support it everywhere..
