I'm following the tutorial at http://dranger.com/ffmpeg/tutorial01.html and have been able to read files, decode them, and save each frame to an image just fine. However, certain input files lead to the frames being decoded upside down (the input files play correctly in, say, mplayer). >> > >> > I have one input file that uses a rawvideo codec. This is decoded upside down.

You can find the answer in this thread: http://ffmpeg-users.933282.n4.nabble.com/Flip-in-sws-scale-td939665.html >> >> BR, >> Alex >> >> > > > Thanks!

I have some input files that end up vertically flipped, and some that do not, but I'm sure the information exists somewhere because when I play those files in media players, the players are able to play them all in the correct orientation. > > Thanks again for your time, > Jason The linesize [] parameter should contain a negative value indicating image is flipped
