學習 FFmpeg 循序漸進的資料很少负蚊，前一段還在交代背景知識滩报，下一段就推你去看源代碼去了扇苞。
An ffmpeg and SDL Tutorial 算是我找到的比較好入門教程了抠藕，當然我并不關心 SDL 是啥，我只想知道 FFmpeg 是怎么使用的坯认。

嘗試編譯了以下 tutorial 1 的代碼，編譯器提示基本每一個用到的函數(shù)和字段都被標記為 depressed氓涣。當然編譯是可以通過的牛哺，也能夠如期的運行起來。不過劳吠，既然 FFmpeg 已經(jīng)發(fā)布到了 3.x.x 版本引润，也不妨升級使用最新的接口。

與 tutorial 1 代碼邏輯一致痒玩，讀取視頻 5 幀保存成 PPM 格式圖片淳附。
保存成 PPM 主要是因為這種格式簡單，查看確是大大不方便的凰荚，可以使用 ImageMagick 命令轉換成方便查看的格式：

convert in.ppm out.jpg

與 tutorial 1 不同的是燃观，增加了 seek 函數(shù)，跳到視頻的某大間點的關鍵幀附近便瑟。編譯需要 C++11 支持缆毁，還依賴了 boost::format，如果想去掉 boost::format 的依賴還是很容易的到涂。
