NAME    [Toc]    [Back]

     mvReadTrackData, mvInsertTrackData, mvInsertTrackDataAtOffset, -
     manipulate	data in	track

SYNOPSIS    [Toc]    [Back]

     #include <dmedia/moviefile.h>


     DMstatus mvReadTrackData( MVid track, int index,
			 size_t	bufferSize, void *buffer );

     DMstatus mvInsertTrackData( MVid track, MVframes frames, MVtime time,
			 MVtime	duration, MVtimescale timeScale,
			 size_t	bufferSize, void *buffer,
			 MVdatatype dataType, int paramsId );

     DMstatus mvInsertTrackDataAtOffset( MVid track, MVframe frames,
			 MVtime	time, MVtime duration,
			 MVtimescale timeScale,
			 off64_t fileOffset, size_t bufferSize,
			 MVdatatype dataType, int paramsId )

DESCRIPTION    [Toc]    [Back]

     Each instance in track time corresponds to	a certain block	of physical
     data.  For	example, an image track	is made	up of bytes that describe
     images.  The relationship between these two are covered by	functions
     described in mvTrackData(3dm).

     Functions described in this page allow users to have access to such
     physical blocks.  These are low-level functions that most applications
     will not need.  They are only useful for applications that	need to	access
     low-level information like	file offsets and raw compressed	data.  They
     are analogous to mvReadCompressedImage(3dm) and
     mvInsertCompressedImage(3dm), except that they are	time based and
     medium-neutral.

     mvReadTrackData

     This function reads a chunk of data out of	the file and presents it to
     the user.

     track id of the track with	which the chunk	is associated.

     dataIndex is the index to the data	chunk.	An error is set	and DM_FAILURE
     is	returned if this value is out of range.	 The number of valid data
     indices can be retrieved by mvGetTrackNumDataIndex(3dm).

     bufferSize	is the size of the buffer pointed to by	buffer.	 The size of a
     chunk can be retrieved from the function mvGetTrackDataInfo(3dm).	An
     error is set and DM_FAILURE is returned if	this value is smaller than the

     required size.

     buffer is a pointer to the	buffer into which the movie library will
     write.  The user is responsible for the memory management of this buffer.

     mvInsertTrackData

     This function copies the data in the buffer to the	storage	file of	the
     track, and	inserts	a new segment in the track that	corresponds to this
     chunk of data.

     This function is very similar to mvInsertFramesAtTime, except that	the
     buffer containing the data	will not be processed by the track-specific
     code (e.g.	compression, color-space conversion, etc), and will be copied
     directly in the file.  Users who would rather process the data themselves
     through other means can use this function.

     track the id of the track into which the segment will be inserted.

     frames the	number of frames contained in the chunk	of data	to be
     inserted.

     time the time at which the	new segment will be inserted.  If the time is
     beyond the	duration of the	track, a gap is	first inserted between the
     duration of the track and this time.

     duration the duration of the new segment to be inserted.

     bufferSize	is the size of the buffer pointed to by	buffer.

     buffer contains the buffer	which has the data chunk to be copied to the
     file.

     dataType contains the datatype of the chunk that is being passed in.
     Currently,	this bit mask is only used to indicate whether the chunk is a
     key frame or not, and valid types are MV_FRAMETYPE_DELTA (for delta
     frames) and MV_FRAMETYPE_KEY (for key frames).  All uncompressed frames
     or	compressed frames from a compression scheme that is not	key-frame
     based are considered key frames.

     paramsId is the index of the parameter returned by	mvAddTrackDataParams
     or	by default, 0, which is	the params as introduced in mvAddTrack,	the
     first set of parameters contained in a track.  If this parameter is out
     of	range of the valid data	params,	an error is set	and DM_FAILURE is
     returned.

     mvInsertTrackDataAtOffset

     This function is similar to mvInsertTrackData, except that	it does	not
     copy a buffer to a	stoage file.  Instead it takes a reference to a
     storage location (specified by fileOffset and bufferSize) and inserts a
     new segment in the	track that  corresponds	to the data chunk that resides

     there. This allows	the user to do their own storage I/O.

     track the id of the track into which the segment will be inserted.

     frames the	number of frames contained in the chunk	of data	to be
     inserted.

     time the time at which the	new segment will be inserted.  If the time is
     beyond the	duration of the	track, a gap is	first inserted between the
     duration of the track and this time.

     duration the duration of the new segment to be inserted.

     timescale the timescale of	the new	segment	to be inserted.

     fileOffset	the location where the data chunk to be	added to the track
     resides on	the storage device.

     bufferSize	is the size of the buffer pointed to by	fileOffset.

     dataType contains the datatype of the chunk that is being passed in.
     Currently,	this bit mask is only used to indicate whether the chunk is a
     key frame or not, and valid types are MV_FRAMETYPE_DELTA (for delta
     frames) and MV_FRAMETYPE_KEY (for key frames).  All uncompressed frames
     or	compressed frames from a compression scheme that is not	key-frame
     based are considered key frames.

     paramsId is the index of the parameter returned by	mvAddTrackDataParams
     or	by default, 0, which is	the params as introduced in mvAddTrack,	the
     first set of parameters contained in a track.  If this parameter is out
     of	range of the valid data	params,	an error is set	and DM_FAILURE is
     returned.
