Question
Code for Converting different video format files to Mpeg format
I want to write some code for converting different video files to mpeg format to create VCD/ DVD.This can be divided into two tasks:
1) Conversion of different file formats to Mpeg format
2) Writing these files to CD/DVD to be playable in any player.
Now for 1st part:
I need code to convert different video formats to mpeg format.
The problem is that i am unable to get any sample code that could help me how to do that.
I am not very much sure but i suppose this can be done using:
i) FFMpeg API
ii) DirectX API (not pretty much sure)
iii) QuickTime API (not pretty much sure for Video Conversion)
Taking i)
I have downloaded the FFMpeg project code through SVN, but that didnt helped me much, as i want only the conversion related code from that and i am not sure how to approach for this.
Taking ii)
I am not very much sure about this but i guess there might be some way of doing this. I want to know is there any way of doing this task of conversion using DirectX SDK? if so then how(code)?
Taking iii)
I am not very much sure about video conversion, but i m considering as it provide good support for audio conversions. I want to know is there any wayvideoconversion using Quicktime? if so then how(code)?
Now the 2nd part: VCD/DVD Writing
As explained above i want to create VCD/DVD from the mpeg files(if OK to use this format).
I dont know how to do this as i suppose IMAPI2 doesnt provide anything like TrackAtOnce for videoCD/ DVD writing.
Watever i think ineed to create some hierarical structure for this and remove headers from mpeg files for creation of stream to be passed to DiscBurner.
I am not sure how much i am right ................
Sorry for that long question but i want to tell u experts what i know so i could provide u much information about my problem.
and get a better response asap.
Thanks in advance

thanks Mr. GuruDenis for your kind response, but what i want to do is s get some API sort of thing to do the conversion that i can embed within my code.
Any code sample would be of great help!!!!!
This might be the next option(also not really sure how to do that).Can you p[lz show me how to do that this might help me if nothing else work out)
>> Can you p[lz show me how to do that this might help me if nothing else work out)
I'm afraid that I cannot publish this code entirely because it's owned by my employer, while a short snippet will hardly be enough to demonstrate the concept. The idea, however, is to start mencoder.exe with command line parameters that match the desired output format, that's all. If you need to monitor conversion progress, mencoder outputs that to standard ouptut, so you can redirect it with CreatePipe and CreateProcess as described here:
http://msdn.microsoft.com/
>> i want to do is s get some API sort of thing
Consider using libavcodec then. It will be sufficiently more complicated than launching mencoder, though. See:

Creating config.mak and config.h...
And it hangs here i suppose(alhough the process is taking memmory from my system)...................
Any Help ...................
This looks like a compiler bug to me because no errors are reported, yet it hangs while creating a mak file (apparently). I'm no expert in MinGW, but I do remember having problems configuring it properly when I had to use it once. Make sure you're using the appropriate home directory and the command line switches are as described here:
http://forum.doom9.org/arc
Have you looked for a compiled binary? Have a look at these links, maybe they'll prove useful:
http://www.swindongallery.
http://downloads.sourcefor
http://www.bala-krishna.co
Also look for avcodec.dll and avformat.dll (and their lib files) on the web, this is what ffmpeg compiles to.
THanx Mr GuruDenis,
Sorry for so late reponse......
But stil i m not able to compile FFMPEG.
anyways thanx for ur help, i have downloaded files from http://arrozcru.no-ip.org/
and now trying to get something out of it.
You should use DirectShow API (part of DirectX) to do this conversion in code. DirectShow is far to large for me to give you example code, but here are the things you would need:
" DirectShow SDK (available from Microsoft for free)
" ffdshow (freeware encode/decode codec for directshow)
" GraphEditPlus (not necessary, but can generate c++ code for you from a graph making life easier)
Bsically, you would be creating a DirectShow graph that has the file you want to convert as the source filter (File Source Async.) then any demux/transform filters required, then ffdshow encoder filter, then any mux required, finally to file writer sink.
Sounds complicated, but its not that hard.

Try using mencoder:
http://www.mplayerhq.hu/
It has plenty of useful command line switches and verbose output. Therefore it can be controlled and monitored programmatically. I've done this before, and I can tell you that mencoder does the job pretty well.
