AVCodec Supported Formats
Media Codec
Video Decoding
Currently, the following decoding capabilities are supported:
| Video Hardware Decoding Type | Video Software Decoding Type |
|---|---|
| AVC (H.264), HEVC (H.265) | AVC (H.264) |
Video software decoding and hardware decoding are different. When a decoder is created based on the MIME type, only H.264 (OH_AVCODEC_MIMETYPE_VIDEO_AVC) is supported for software decoding, and H.264 (OH_AVCODEC_MIMETYPE_VIDEO_AVC) and H.265 (OH_AVCODEC_MIMETYPE_VIDEO_HEVC) can be used for hardware decoding as long as they are supported by the hardware platform.
For details about the range of each decoding capability, see Obtaining Supported Codecs.
For details about the development guide, see Video Decoding.
Video Encoding
Currently, the following encoding capabilities are supported:
| Video Encoding Type |
|---|
| HEVC (H.265), AVC (H.264) |
Only hardware encoding is supported. When an encoder is created based on the MIME type, H.264 (OH_AVCODEC_MIMETYPE_VIDEO_AVC) and H.265 (OH_AVCODEC_MIMETYPE_VIDEO_HEVC) are supported.
For details about the range of each encoding capability, see Obtaining Supported Codecs.
