#define AVFMT_TS_NEGATIVE 0x40000

Format allows muxing negative timestamps.

If not set the timestamp will be shifted in av_write_frame and av_interleaved_write_frame so they start from 0. The user or muxer can override this through AVFormatContext.avoid_negative_ts

int av_append_packet	(	AVIOContext *	s,
		AVPacket *	pkt,
		int	size
	)

Read data and append it to the current content of the AVPacket.

If pkt->size is 0 this is identical to av_get_packet. Note that this uses av_grow_packet and thus involves a realloc which is inefficient. Thus this function should only be used when there is no reasonable way to know (an upper bound of) the final size.

Parameters

s	associated IO context
pkt	packet
size	amount of data to read

Returns: >0 (read size) if OK, AVERROR_xxx otherwise, previous data will not be lost even if an error occurs.

oformat	format to use for allocating the context, if NULL format_name and filename are used instead
format_name	the name of output format to use for allocating the context, if NULL filename is used instead
filename	the name of the filename to use for allocating the context, may be NULL

Returns: >= 0 in case of success, a negative AVERROR code in case of failure
