Struct CodecInfo 

pub struct CodecInfo {
    pub codec_name: String,
    pub codec_long_name: String,
    pub desc_name: String,
    pub media_type: AVMediaType,
    pub codec_id: AVCodecID,
    pub codec_capabilities: i32,
}

Holds metadata about a specific codec recognized by FFmpeg.

This struct consolidates information from both AVCodec (via codec_name, codec_long_name, etc.) and the AVCodecDescriptor (via desc_name) into a single, user-friendly format. It can be used to inspect properties of encoders or decoders available in your FFmpeg build.

Fields

• codec_name - The short name of the codec (e.g., "h264", "aac").
• codec_long_name - A more descriptive name of the codec (e.g., "H.264 / AVC / MPEG-4 AVC / MPEG-4 part 10").
• desc_name - The descriptor’s name, typically very similar or identical to codec_name.
• media_type - The media category (AVMEDIA_TYPE_AUDIO, AVMEDIA_TYPE_VIDEO, etc.).
• codec_id - The internal FFmpeg AVCodecID, an enum identifying the codec.
• codec_capabilities - A bitmask indicating codec capabilities (e.g., intra-only, lossless).

Fields

codec_name: String

The short name from AVCodec.name.

codec_long_name: String

The long name from AVCodec.long_name.

desc_name: String

The descriptor’s name from AVCodecDescriptor.name.

media_type: AVMediaType

The media type (e.g., audio, video, subtitle).

codec_id: AVCodecID

The numeric codec ID (e.g., AV_CODEC_ID_H264).

codec_capabilities: i32

A bitmask of capabilities from AVCodec.capabilities.
