多媒体封装格式详解---MP4
http://blog.csdn.net/pirateleo/article/details/7061452
一、基本概念
1、 文件,由许多Box和FullBox组成。
2、 Box,每个Box由Header和Data组成。
3、 FullBox,是Box的扩展,Box结构的基础上在Header中增加8bits version和24bits flags。
4、 Header,包含了整个Box的长度size和类型type。当size==0时,代表这是文件中最后一个Box;当size==1时,意 味着Box长度需要更多bits来描述,在后面会定义一个64bits的largesize描述Box的长度;当type是uuid时,代表Box中的数 据是用户自定义扩展类型。
5、 Data,是Box的实际数据,可以是纯数据也可以是更多的子Boxes。
6、 当一个Box的Data中是一系列子Box时,这个Box又可成为Container Box。
结构如下图:
文件基本结构描述图
1、 ftypbox,在文件的开始位置,描述的文件的版本、兼容协议等;
2、 moovbox,这个box中不包含具体媒体数据,但包含本文件中所有媒体数据的宏观描述信息,moov box下有mvhd和trak box。
>>mvhd中记录了创建时间、修改时间、时间度量标尺、可播放时长等信息。
>>trak中的一系列子box描述了每个媒体轨道的具体信息。
3、 moofbox,这个box是视频分片的描述信息。并不是MP4文件必须的部分,但在我们常见的可在线播放的MP4格式文件中(例如Silverlight Smooth Streaming中的ismv文件)确是重中之重。
4、 mdatbox,实际媒体数据。我们最终解码播放的数据都在这里面。
5、 mfrabox,一般在文件末尾,媒体的索引文件,可通过查询直接定位所需时间点的媒体数据。
附:Smooth Streaming中ismv文件结构,文件分为了多个Fragments,每个Fragment中包含moof和mdat。这样的结构符合渐进式播放需求。(mdat及其描述信息逐步传输,收齐一个Fragment便可播放其中的mdat)。
/* Set other implicit flags immediately */ if (mov->mode == MODE_ISM) mov->flags |= FF_MOV_FLAG_EMPTY_MOOV | FF_MOV_FLAG_SEPARATE_MOOF | FF_MOV_FLAG_FRAGMENT;
static int mov_read_ftyp(MOVContext *c, AVIOContext *pb, MOVAtom atom)
{
uint32_t minor_ver;
int comp_brand_size;
char minor_ver_str[11]; /* 32 bit integer -> 10 digits + null */
char* comp_brands_str;
uint8_t type[5] = {0};
avio_read(pb, type, 4);
if (strcmp(type, "qt "))
c->isom = 1;
av_log(c->fc, AV_LOG_DEBUG, "ISO: File Type Major Brand: %.4s\n",(char *)&type);
av_dict_set(&c->fc->metadata, "major_brand", type, 0);
minor_ver = avio_rb32(pb); /* minor version */
snprintf(minor_ver_str, sizeof(minor_ver_str), "%"PRIu32"", minor_ver);
av_dict_set(&c->fc->metadata, "minor_version", minor_ver_str, 0);
comp_brand_size = atom.size - 8;
if (comp_brand_size < 0)
return AVERROR_INVALIDDATA;
comp_brands_str = av_malloc(comp_brand_size + 1); /* Add null terminator */
if (!comp_brands_str)
return AVERROR(ENOMEM);
avio_read(pb, comp_brands_str, comp_brand_size);
comp_brands_str[comp_brand_size] = 0;
av_dict_set(&c->fc->metadata, "compatible_brands", comp_brands_str, 0);
av_freep(&comp_brands_str);
return 0;
}

正式开始前先对文件的几个重要部分宏观介绍一下,以便诸位在后续学习时心中有数:
1、 ftypbox,在文件的开始位置,描述的文件的版本、兼容协议等;
2、 moovbox,这个box中不包含具体媒体数据,但包含本文件中所有媒体数据的宏观描述信息,moov box下有mvhd和trak box。
>>mvhd中记录了创建时间、修改时间、时间度量标尺、可播放时长等信息。
>>trak中的一系列子box描述了每个媒体轨道的具体信息。
3、 moofbox,这个box是视频分片的描述信息。并不是MP4文件必须的部分,但在我们常见的可在线播放的MP4格式文件中(例如Silverlight Smooth Streaming中的ismv文件)确是重中之重。
4、 mdatbox,实际媒体数据。我们最终解码播放的数据都在这里面。
5、 mfrabox,一般在文件末尾,媒体的索引文件,可通过查询直接定位所需时间点的媒体数据。
附:Smooth Streaming中ismv文件结构,文件分为了多个Fragments,每个Fragment中包含moof和mdat。这样的结构符合渐进式播放需求。(mdat及其描述信息逐步传输,收齐一个Fragment便可播放其中的mdat)。

MP4(MPEG-4 Part 14)是一种常见的多媒体容器格式,它是在“ISO/IEC 14496-14”标准文件中定义的。

1.File Type Box
Box Type: `ftyp’
这种box一般情况下都会出现在mp4文件的开头,它可以作为mp4容器格式的可表示信息。就像flv头‘F’ 'L' 'V' 3字节,MKV头部的1A 45 DF A3 、ASF_Header_Object 可以作为ASF容器格式的可辨识信息一样。
ftyp box内容结构如下
- aligned(8) class FileTypeBox
- extends Box(‘ftyp’) {
- unsigned int(32) major_brand;
- unsigned int(32) minor_version;
- unsigned int(32) compatible_brands[]; // to end of the box
- }
2.Movie Box
moov 这个box 里面包含了很多个子box,就像上篇那个图上标的。一般情况下moov 会紧跟着 ftyp。moov里面包含着mp4文件中的metedata。音视频相关的基础信息。让我们看看moov 里面都含有哪些重要的box。
2.1 Movie Header Box
- aligned(8) class MovieHeaderBox extends FullBox(‘mvhd’, version, 0) {
- if (version==1) {
- unsigned int(64) creation_time;
- unsigned int(64) modification_time;
- unsigned int(32) timescale;
- unsigned int(64) duration;
- } else { // version==0
- unsigned int(32) creation_time;
- unsigned int(32) modification_time;
- unsigned int(32) timescale;
- unsigned int(32) duration;
- }
- template int(32) rate = 0x00010000; // typically 1.0
- template int(16) volume = 0x0100; // typically, full volume
- const bit(16) reserved = 0;
- const unsigned int(32)[2] reserved = 0;
- template int(32)[9] matrix =
- { 0x00010000,0,0,0,0x00010000,0,0,0,0x40000000 };
- // Unity matrix
- bit(32)[6] pre_defined = 0;
- unsigned int(32) next_track_ID;
- }

该track的时间长度,用duration和time scale值可以计算track时长,比如audio track的time scale = 8000, duration = 560128,时长为 70.016,video track的time scale = 600, duration = 42000,时长为70 |
rate |
4 |
推荐播放速率,高16位和低16位分别为小数点整数部分和小数部分,即[16.16] 格式,该值为1.0(0x00010000)表示正常前向播放 |
volume |
2 |
与rate类似,[8.8] 格式,1.0(0x0100)表示最大音量 |
reserved |

所以通过解析这部分内容可以或者duration、rate等主要信息。举个例子:
2.2.1 Track Header Box
- aligned(8) class TrackHeaderBox
- extends FullBox(‘tkhd’, version, flags){
- if (version==1) {
- unsigned int(64) creation_time;
- unsigned int(64) modification_time;
- unsigned int(32) track_ID;
- const unsigned int(32) reserved = 0;
- unsigned int(64) duration;
- } else { // version==0
- unsigned int(32) creation_time;
- unsigned int(32) modification_time;
- unsigned int(32) track_ID;
- const unsigned int(32) reserved = 0;
- unsigned int(32) duration;
- }
- const unsigned int(32)[2] reserved = 0;
- template int(16) layer = 0;
- template int(16) alternate_group = 0;
- template int(16) volume = {if track_is_audio 0x0100 else 0};
- const unsigned int(16) reserved = 0;
- template int(32)[9] matrix=
- { 0x00010000,0,0,0,0x00010000,0,0,0,0x40000000 };
