marcos ashton 2f779272e0 libavformat/img2enc: add update_filemtime option
Add a new boolean option -update_filemtime to the image2 muxer that
sets each output file's modification time based on the creation_time
metadata plus the frame's PTS offset.

This is useful when extracting frames from dashcam or action camera
footage where wall-clock timestamps should be preserved on the output
files, allowing photo management tools to sort frames by capture time
without post-processing.

The option requires creation_time metadata to be set (via -metadata
creation_time=...). If not present, a warning is logged and the
option is silently disabled. When PTS is unavailable, the creation
time is used as-is without frame offset.

Uses utimes() on POSIX and _utime() on Windows to set file timestamps
with microsecond and second precision respectively.

Includes a FATE roundtrip test that writes frames with a known
creation_time, reads them back using the demuxer's -ts_from_file
option, and verifies the PTS values match the expected timestamps.

FFmpeg README

FFmpeg is a collection of libraries and tools to process multimedia content such as audio, video, subtitles and related metadata.

Libraries

  • libavcodec provides implementation of a wider range of codecs.
  • libavformat implements streaming protocols, container formats and basic I/O access.
  • libavutil includes hashers, decompressors and miscellaneous utility functions.
  • libavfilter provides means to alter decoded audio and video through a directed graph of connected filters.
  • libavdevice provides an abstraction to access capture and playback devices.
  • libswresample implements audio mixing and resampling routines.
  • libswscale implements color conversion and scaling routines.

Tools

  • ffmpeg is a command line toolbox to manipulate, convert and stream multimedia content.
  • ffplay is a minimalistic multimedia player.
  • ffprobe is a simple analysis tool to inspect multimedia content.
  • Additional small tools such as aviocat, ismindex and qt-faststart.
