<p>This document describes the bitstream filters provided by the
libavcodec library.
</p>
<p>A bitstream filter operates on the encoded stream data, and performs
bitstream level modifications without performing decoding.
</p>
<a name="Bitstream-Filters"></a>
<h2 class="chapter">2 Bitstream Filters<span class="pull-right"><a class="anchor hidden-xs" href="#Bitstream-Filters" aria-hidden="true">#</a> <a class="anchor hidden-xs"href="#toc-Bitstream-Filters" aria-hidden="true">TOC</a></span></h2>
<p>When you configure your FFmpeg build, all the supported bitstream
filters are enabled by default. You can list all available ones using
the configure option <code>--list-bsfs</code>.
</p>
<p>You can disable all the bitstream filters using the configure option
<code>--disable-bsfs</code>, and selectively enable any bitstream filter using
the option <code>--enable-bsf=BSF</code>, or you can disable a particular
bitstream filter using the option <code>--disable-bsf=BSF</code>.
</p>
<p>The option <code>-bsfs</code> of the ff* tools will display the list of
all the supported bitstream filters included in your build.
</p>
<p>The ff* tools have a -bsf option applied per stream, taking a
comma-separated list of filters, whose parameters follow the filter
name after a ’=’.
</p>
<div class="example">
<pre class="example">ffmpeg -i INPUT -c:v copy -bsf:v filter1[=opt1=str1:opt2=str2][,filter2] OUTPUT
</pre></div>
<p>Below is a description of the currently available bitstream filters,
with their parameters, if any.

<p>Convert MPEG-2/4 AAC ADTS to an MPEG-4 Audio Specific Configuration
bitstream.
</p>
<p>This filter creates an MPEG-4 AudioSpecificConfig from an MPEG-2/4
ADTS header and removes the ADTS header.
</p>
<p>This filter is required for example when copying an AAC stream from a
raw ADTS AAC or an MPEG-TS container to MP4A-LATM, to an FLV file, or
to MOV/MP4 files and related formats such as 3GP or M4A. Please note
that it is auto-inserted for MP4A-LATM and MOV/MP4 and related formats.

of the bitstream containing the coded frames) or "out of band" (e.g. on the

<p>Convert MJPEG/AVI1 packets to full JPEG/JFIF packets.
</p>
<p>MJPEG is a video codec wherein each video frame is essentially a
JPEG image. The individual frames can be extracted without loss,
e.g. by
</p>
<div class="example">
<pre class="example">ffmpeg -i ../some_mjpeg.avi -c:v copy frames_%d.jpg
</pre></div>
<p>Unfortunately, these chunks are incomplete JPEG images, because
they lack the DHT segment required for decoding. Quoting from
<a href="http://www.digitalpreservation.gov/formats/fdd/fdd000063.shtml">http://www.digitalpreservation.gov/formats/fdd/fdd000063.shtml</a>:
</p>
<p>Avery Lee, writing in the rec.video.desktop newsgroup in 2001,
commented that "MJPEG, or at least the MJPEG in AVIs having the
MJPG fourcc, is restricted JPEG with a fixed – and *omitted* –
Huffman table. The JPEG must be YCbCr colorspace, it must be 4:2:2,
and it must use basic Huffman encoding, not arithmetic or
progressive. . . . You can indeed extract the MJPEG frames and
decode them with a regular JPEG decoder, but you have to prepend
the DHT segment to them, or else the decoder won’t have any idea
how to decompress the data. The exact table necessary is given in
the OpenDML spec."
</p>
<p>This bitstream filter patches the header of frames extracted from an MJPEG
stream (carrying the AVI1 header ID and lacking a DHT segment) to
produce fully qualified JPEG images.
</p>
<div class="example">
<pre class="example">ffmpeg -i mjpeg-movie.avi -c:v copy -bsf:v mjpeg2jpeg frame_%d.jpg
exiftran -i -9 frame*.jpg

<p>Unpack DivX-style packed B-frames.
</p>
<p>DivX-style packed B-frames are not valid MPEG-4 and were only a
workaround for the broken Video for Windows subsystem.
They use more space, can cause minor AV sync issues, require more
CPU power to decode (unless the player has some decoded picture queue
to compensate the 2,0,2,0 frame per packet style) and cause
trouble if copied into a standard container like mp4 or mpeg-ps/ts,
because MPEG-4 decoders may not be able to decode them, since they are
not valid MPEG-4.
</p>
<p>For example to fix an AVI file containing an MPEG-4 stream with
DivX-style packed B-frames using <code>ffmpeg</code>, you can use the command:

on the build only a subset of these may be available.
