// Simple Encoder
// ==============
//
// This is an example of a simple encoder loop. It takes an input file in
// YV12 format, passes it through the encoder, and writes the compressed
// frames to disk in IVF format. Other decoder examples build upon this
// one.
//
// The details of the IVF format have been elided from this example for
// simplicity of presentation, as IVF files will not generally be used by
// your application. In general, an IVF file consists of a file header,
// followed by a variable number of frames. Each frame consists of a frame
// header followed by a variable length payload. The length of the payload
// is specified in the first four bytes of the frame header. The payload is
// the raw compressed data.
//
// Standard Includes
// -----------------
// For encoders, you only have to include `aom_encoder.h` and then any
// header files for the specific codecs you use. In this case, we're using
// aom.
//
// Getting The Default Configuration
// ---------------------------------
// Encoders have the notion of "usage profiles." For example, an encoder
// may want to publish default configurations for both a video
// conferencing application and a best quality offline encoder. These
// obviously have very different default settings. Consult the
// documentation for your codec to see if it provides any default
// configurations. All codecs provide a default configuration, number 0,
// which is valid for material in the vacinity of QCIF/QVGA.
//
// Updating The Configuration
// ---------------------------------
// Almost all applications will want to update the default configuration
// with settings specific to their usage. Here we set the width and height
// of the video file to that specified on the command line. We also scale
// the default bitrate based on the ratio between the default resolution
// and the resolution specified on the command line.
//
// Initializing The Codec
// ----------------------
// The encoder is initialized by the following code.
//
// Encoding A Frame
// ----------------
// The frame is read as a continuous block (size width * height * 3 / 2)
// from the input file. If a frame was read (the input file has not hit
// EOF) then the frame is passed to the encoder. Otherwise, a NULL
// is passed, indicating the End-Of-Stream condition to the encoder. The
// `frame_cnt` is reused as the presentation time stamp (PTS) and each
// frame is shown for one frame-time in duration. The flags parameter is
// unused in this example.

// Forced Keyframes
// ----------------
// Keyframes can be forced by setting the AOM_EFLAG_FORCE_KF bit of the
// flags passed to `aom_codec_control()`. In this example, we force a
// keyframe every <keyframe-interval> frames. Note, the output stream can
// contain additional keyframes beyond those that have been forced using the
// AOM_EFLAG_FORCE_KF flag because of automatic keyframe placement by the
// encoder.
//
// Processing The Encoded Data
// ---------------------------
// Each packet of type `AOM_CODEC_CX_FRAME_PKT` contains the encoded data
// for this frame. We write a IVF frame header, followed by the raw data.
//
// Cleanup
// -------
// The `aom_codec_destroy` call frees any memory allocated by the codec.
//
// Error Handling
// --------------
// This example does not special case any error return codes. If there was
// an error, a descriptive message is printed and the program exits. With
// few exeptions, aom_codec functions return an enumerated error status,
// with the value `0` indicating success.
//
// Error Resiliency Features
// -------------------------
// Error resiliency is controlled by the g_error_resilient member of the
// configuration structure. Use the `decode_with_drops` example to decode with
// frames 5-10 dropped. Compare the output for a file encoded with this example
// versus one encoded with the `simple_encoder` example.
