Detailed Description

The libtheora pre-1.0 legacy C API.

Introduction

This is the documentation for the libtheora legacy C API, declared in the theora.h header, which describes the old interface used before the 1.0 release. This API was widely deployed for several years and remains supported, but for new code we recommend the cleaner API declared in theoradec.h and theoraenc.h.

libtheora is the reference implementation for Theora, a free video codec. Theora is derived from On2's VP3 codec with improved integration with Ogg multimedia formats by Xiph.Org.

Overview

This library will both decode and encode theora packets to/from raw YUV frames. In either case, the packets will most likely either come from or need to be embedded in an Ogg stream. Use libogg or liboggz to extract/package these packets.

Decoding Process

Decoding can be separated into the following steps:

initialise theora_info and theora_comment structures using theora_info_init() and theora_comment_init():

theora_info     info;
theora_comment  comment;
  
theora_info_init(&info);
theora_comment_init(&comment);

retrieve header packets from Ogg stream (there should be 3) and decode into theora_info and theora_comment structures using theora_decode_header(). See Identifying Theora Packets for more information on identifying which packets are theora packets.
```
int i;
for (i = 0; i < 3; i++)
{
  (get a theora packet "op" from the Ogg stream)
  theora_decode_header(&info, &comment, op);
}
```
initialise the decoder based on the information retrieved into the theora_info struct by theora_decode_header(). You will need a theora_state struct.
```
theora_state state;

theora_decode_init(&state, &info);
```

pass in packets and retrieve decoded frames! See the yuv_buffer documentation for information on how to retrieve raw YUV data.

yuf_buffer buffer;
while (last packet was not e_o_s) {
  (get a theora packet "op" from the Ogg stream)
  theora_decode_packetin(&state, op);
  theora_decode_YUVout(&state, &buffer);
}

Identifying Theora Packets

All streams inside an Ogg file have a unique serial_no attached to the stream. Typically, you will want to

retrieve the serial_no for each b_o_s (beginning of stream) page encountered within the Ogg file;
test the first (only) packet on that page to determine if it is a theora packet;
once you have found a theora b_o_s page then use the retrieved serial_no to identify future packets belonging to the same theora stream.

Note that you cannot use theora_packet_isheader() to determine if a packet is a theora packet or not, as this function does not perform any checking beyond whether a header bit is present. Instead, use the theora_decode_header() function and check the return value; or examine the header bytes at the beginning of the Ogg page.

Macro Definition Documentation

◆ OC_BADHEADER

#define OC_BADHEADER -20

Header packet was corrupt/invalid.

◆ OC_BADPACKET

#define OC_BADPACKET -24

Packet is corrupt.

◆ OC_DISABLED

#define OC_DISABLED -11

Requested action is disabled.

◆ OC_DUPFRAME

#define OC_DUPFRAME 1

Packet is a dropped frame.

◆ OC_EINVAL

#define OC_EINVAL -10

Library encountered invalid internal data.

◆ OC_FAULT

#define OC_FAULT -1

General failure.

◆ OC_IMPL

#define OC_IMPL -23

Feature or action not implemented.

◆ OC_NEWPACKET

#define OC_NEWPACKET -25

Packet is an (ignorable) unhandled extension.

◆ OC_NOTFORMAT

#define OC_NOTFORMAT -21

Packet is not a theora packet.

◆ OC_VERSION

#define OC_VERSION -22

Bitstream version is not handled.

◆ TH_DECCTL_GET_PPLEVEL_MAX

#define TH_DECCTL_GET_PPLEVEL_MAX (1)

Get the maximum post-processing level.

The decoder supports a post-processing filter that can improve the appearance of the decoded images. This returns the highest level setting for this post-processor, corresponding to maximum improvement and computational expense.

◆ TH_DECCTL_SET_GRANPOS

#define TH_DECCTL_SET_GRANPOS (5)

Set the granule position.

Call this after a seek, to update the internal granulepos in the decoder, to insure that subsequent frames are marked properly. If you track timestamps yourself and do not use the granule postion returned by the decoder, then you do not need to use this control.

◆ TH_DECCTL_SET_PPLEVEL

#define TH_DECCTL_SET_PPLEVEL (3)

Set the post-processing level.

Sets the level of post-processing to use when decoding the compressed stream. This must be a value between zero (off) and the maximum returned by TH_DECCTL_GET_PPLEVEL_MAX.

◆ TH_ENCCTL_GET_SPLEVEL_MAX

#define TH_ENCCTL_GET_SPLEVEL_MAX (12)

Gets the maximum speed level.

Higher speed levels favor quicker encoding over better quality per bit. Depending on the encoding mode, and the internal algorithms used, quality may actually improve, but in this case bitrate will also likely increase. In any case, overall rate/distortion performance will probably decrease. The maximum value, and the meaning of each value, may change depending on the current encoding mode (VBR vs. CQI, etc.).

Parameters

[out] buf int: The maximum encoding speed level.

Return values

OC_FAULT	theora_state or buf is `NULL`.
OC_EINVAL	buf_sz is not `sizeof(int)`.
OC_IMPL	Not supported by this implementation in the current encoding mode.

◆ TH_ENCCTL_SET_KEYFRAME_FREQUENCY_FORCE

#define TH_ENCCTL_SET_KEYFRAME_FREQUENCY_FORCE (4)

Sets the maximum distance between key frames.

This can be changed during an encode, but will be bounded by 1<<th_info::keyframe_granule_shift. If it is set before encoding begins, th_info::keyframe_granule_shift will be enlarged appropriately.

Parameters

[in]	buf	`ogg_uint32_t`: The maximum distance between key frames.
[out]	buf	`ogg_uint32_t`: The actual maximum distance set.

Return values

OC_FAULT	theora_state or buf is `NULL`.
OC_EINVAL	buf_sz is not `sizeof(ogg_uint32_t)`.
OC_IMPL	Not supported by this implementation.

◆ TH_ENCCTL_SET_QUANT_PARAMS

#define TH_ENCCTL_SET_QUANT_PARAMS (2)

Sets the quantization parameters to use. The parameters are copied, not stored by reference, so they can be freed after this call. NULL may be specified to revert to the default parameters.

Parameters

[in] buf th_quant_info

Return values

OC_FAULT	theora_state is `NULL`.
OC_EINVAL	Encoding has already begun, the quantization parameters are not acceptable to this version of the encoder, buf is `NULL` and buf_sz is not zero, or buf is non-`NULL` and buf_sz is not `sizeof(th_quant_info)`.
OC_IMPL	Not supported by this implementation.

◆ TH_ENCCTL_SET_SPLEVEL

#define TH_ENCCTL_SET_SPLEVEL (14)

Sets the speed level.

By default a speed value of 1 is used.

Parameters

[in] buf int: The new encoding speed level. 0 is slowest, larger values use less CPU.

Return values

OC_FAULT	theora_state or buf is `NULL`.
OC_EINVAL	buf_sz is not `sizeof(int)`, or the encoding speed level is out of bounds. The maximum encoding speed level may be implementation- and encoding mode-specific, and can be obtained via TH_ENCCTL_GET_SPLEVEL_MAX.
OC_IMPL	Not supported by this implementation in the current encoding mode.

◆ TH_ENCCTL_SET_VP3_COMPATIBLE

#define TH_ENCCTL_SET_VP3_COMPATIBLE (10)

Disables any encoder features that would prevent lossless transcoding back to VP3.

This primarily means disabling block-level QI values and not using 4MV mode when any of the luma blocks in a macro block are not coded. It also includes using the VP3 quantization tables and Huffman codes; if you set them explicitly after calling this function, the resulting stream will not be VP3-compatible. If you enable VP3-compatibility when encoding 4:2:2 or 4:4:4 source material, or when using a picture region smaller than the full frame (e.g. a non-multiple-of-16 width or height), then non-VP3 bitstream features will still be disabled, but the stream will still not be VP3-compatible, as VP3 was not capable of encoding such formats. If you call this after encoding has already begun, then the quantization tables and codebooks cannot be changed, but the frame-level features will be enabled or disabled as requested.

Parameters

[in]	buf	`int`: a non-zero value to enable VP3 compatibility, or 0 to disable it (the default).
[out]	buf	`int`: 1 if all bitstream features required for VP3-compatibility could be set, and 0 otherwise. The latter will be returned if the pixel format is not 4:2:0, the picture region is smaller than the full frame, or if encoding has begun, preventing the quantization tables and codebooks from being set.

Return values

OC_FAULT	theora_state or buf is `NULL`.
OC_EINVAL	buf_sz is not `sizeof(int)`.
OC_IMPL	Not supported by this implementation.

Typedef Documentation

◆ theora_comment

typedef struct theora_comment theora_comment

Comment header metadata.

This structure holds the in-stream metadata corresponding to the 'comment' header packet.

Meta data is stored as a series of (tag, value) pairs, in length-encoded string vectors. The first occurence of the '=' character delimits the tag and value. A particular tag may occur more than once. The character set encoding for the strings is always UTF-8, but the tag names are limited to case-insensitive ASCII. See the spec for details.

In filling in this structure, theora_decode_header() will null-terminate the user_comment strings for safety. However, the bitstream format itself treats them as 8-bit clean, and so the length array should be treated as authoritative for their length.

Enumeration Type Documentation

◆ theora_colorspace

enum theora_colorspace

A Colorspace.

Enumerator
OC_CS_UNSPECIFIED	The colorspace is unknown or unspecified.
OC_CS_ITU_REC_470M	This is the best option for 'NTSC' content.
OC_CS_ITU_REC_470BG	This is the best option for 'PAL' content.
OC_CS_NSPACES	This marks the end of the defined colorspaces.

◆ theora_pixelformat

enum theora_pixelformat

A Chroma subsampling.

These enumerate the available chroma subsampling options supported by the theora format. See Section 4.4 of the specification for exact definitions.

Enumerator
OC_PF_420	Chroma subsampling by 2 in each direction (4:2:0)
OC_PF_RSVD	Reserved value.
OC_PF_422	Horizonatal chroma subsampling by 2 (4:2:2)
OC_PF_444	No chroma subsampling at all (4:4:4)

Function Documentation

		char *	comment
	)

Add a comment to an initialized theora_comment structure.

Parameters

tc	A previously initialized theora comment structure
comment	A null-terminated string encoding the comment in the form "TAG=the value"

Neither theora_comment_add() nor theora_comment_add_tag() support comments containing null values, although the bitstream format supports this. To add such comments you will need to manipulate the theora_comment structure directly.

◆ theora_comment_add_tag()

tag	A null-terminated string containing the tag associated with the comment.
value	The corresponding value as a null-terminated string

Neither theora_comment_add() nor theora_comment_add_tag() support comments containing null values, although the bitstream format supports this. To add such comments you will need to manipulate the theora_comment structure directly.

◆ theora_comment_clear()

void theora_comment_clear ( theora_comment * tc )

Clear an allocated theora_comment struct so that it can be freed.

Parameters

tc	An allocated theora_comment structure.

Look up a comment value by tag.

Parameters

tc	Tn initialized theora_comment structure
tag	The tag to look up
count	The instance of the tag. The same tag can appear multiple times, each with a distinct and ordered value, so an index is required to retrieve them all.

Returns: A pointer to the queried tag's value

Return values

NULL	No matching tag is found

Note: Use theora_comment_query_count() to get the legal range for the count parameter.

◆ theora_comment_query_count()

int theora_comment_query_count	(	theora_comment *	tc,
		char *	tag
	)

Look up the number of instances of a tag.

Parameters

tc	An initialized theora_comment structure
tag	The tag to look up

int theora_decode_header	(	theora_info *	ci,
		theora_comment *	cc,
		ogg_packet *	op
	)

Decode an Ogg packet, with the expectation that the packet contains an initial header, comment data or codebook tables.

Parameters

ci	A theora_info structure to fill. This must have been previously initialized with theora_info_init(). If op contains an initial header, theora_decode_header() will fill ci with the parsed header values. If op contains codebook tables, theora_decode_header() will parse these and attach an internal representation to ci->codec_setup.
cc	A theora_comment structure to fill. If op contains comment data, theora_decode_header() will fill cc with the parsed comments.
op	An ogg_packet structure which you expect contains an initial header, comment data or codebook tables.

Return values

OC_BADHEADER	op is NULL; OR the first byte of op->packet has the signature of an initial packet, but op is not a b_o_s packet; OR this packet has the signature of an initial header packet, but an initial header packet has already been seen; OR this packet has the signature of a comment packet, but the initial header has not yet been seen; OR this packet has the signature of a comment packet, but contains invalid data; OR this packet has the signature of codebook tables, but the initial header or comments have not yet been seen; OR this packet has the signature of codebook tables, but contains invalid data; OR the stream being decoded has a compatible version but this packet does not have the signature of a theora initial header, comments, or codebook packet

0	Success

◆ theora_granule_frame()

ogg_int64_t theora_granule_frame	(	theora_state *	th,
		ogg_int64_t	granulepos
	)

Convert a granulepos to an absolute frame index, starting at 0.

The granulepos is interpreted in the context of a given theora_state handle.

Note that while the granulepos encodes the frame count (i.e. starting from 1) this call returns the frame index, starting from zero. Thus One can calculate the presentation time by multiplying the index by the rate.

Parameters

th	A previously initialized theora_state handle (encode or decode)
granulepos	The granulepos to convert.

Returns: The frame index corresponding to granulepos.

Return values

-1	The given granulepos is undefined (i.e. negative)

Thus function was added in the 1.0alpha4 release.

◆ theora_granule_shift()

int theora_granule_shift ( theora_info * ti )

Report the granulepos shift radix.

When embedded in Ogg, Theora uses a two-part granulepos, splitting the 64-bit field into two pieces. The more-significant section represents the frame count at the last keyframe, and the less-significant section represents the count of frames since the last keyframe. In this way the overall field is still non-decreasing with time, but usefully encodes a pointer to the last keyframe, which is necessary for correctly restarting decode after a seek.

This function reports the number of bits used to represent the distance to the last keyframe, and thus how the granulepos field must be shifted or masked to obtain the two parts.

Since libtheora returns compressed data in an ogg_packet structure, this may be generally useful even if the Theora packets are not being used in an Ogg container.

Parameters

ti	A previously initialized theora_info struct

Returns: The bit shift dividing the two granulepos fields

This function was added in the 1.0alpha5 release.

◆ theora_granule_time()

double theora_granule_time	(	theora_state *	th,
		ogg_int64_t	granulepos
	)

Convert a granulepos to absolute time in seconds.

The granulepos is interpreted in the context of a given theora_state handle, and gives the end time of a frame's presentation as used in Ogg mux ordering.

Parameters

th	A previously initialized theora_state handle (encode or decode)
granulepos	The granulepos to convert.

Returns: The absolute time in seconds corresponding to granulepos. This is the "end time" for the frame, or the latest time it should be displayed. It is not the presentation time.

Return values

-1.	The given granulepos is undefined (i.e. negative), or
-1.	The function has been disabled because floating point support is not available.

◆ theora_info_clear()

void theora_info_clear ( theora_info * c )

Clear a theora_info structure.

All values within the given theora_info structure are cleared, and associated internal codec setup data is freed.

Parameters

c	A theora_info struct to initialize.

◆ theora_info_init()

void theora_info_init ( theora_info * c )

Initialize a theora_info structure.

All values within the given theora_info structure are initialized, and space is allocated within libtheora for internal codec setup data.

Parameters

c	A theora_info struct to initialize.

◆ theora_packet_isheader()

int theora_packet_isheader ( ogg_packet * op )

Report whether a theora packet is a header or not This function does no verification beyond checking the header flag bit so it should not be used for bitstream identification; use theora_decode_header() for that.

Parameters

op	An ogg_packet containing encoded theora data.

Return values

1	The packet is a header packet
0	The packet is not a header packet (and so contains frame data)

Thus function was added in the 1.0alpha4 release.

◆ theora_packet_iskeyframe()

int theora_packet_iskeyframe ( ogg_packet * op )

Report whether a theora packet is a keyframe or not.

Parameters

op	An ogg_packet containing encoded theora data.

Return values

1	The packet contains a keyframe image
0	The packet is contains an interframe delta
-1	The packet is not an image data packet at all

Thus function was added in the 1.0alpha4 release.

◆ theora_version_number()

ogg_uint32_t theora_version_number ( void )

Retrieve a 32-bit version number.

This number is composed of a 16-bit major version, 8-bit minor version and 8 bit sub-version, composed as follows:

   (VERSION_MAJOR<<16) + (VERSION_MINOR<<8) + (VERSION_SUB)

Returns: The version number.

◆ theora_version_string()

const char * theora_version_string ( void )

Retrieve a human-readable string to identify the encoder vendor and version.

Returns: A version string.
