// avcodec_sample.cpp

// A small sample program that shows how to use libavformat and libavcodec to
// read video from a file.
//
// Use
//
// g++ -o avcodec_sample avcodec_sample.cpp -lavformat -lavcodec -lz
//
// to build (assuming libavformat and libavcodec are correctly installed on
// your system).
//
// Run using
//
// avcodec_sample myvideofile.mpg
//
// to write the first five frames from "myvideofile.mpg" to disk in PPM
// format.
