The question does not mean that I'm interested if ffmpeg code can be used on Andoid. I know that it can. I'm just asking if somebody has the real performance progress with that stuff.
I've created the question after several weeks of experiments with the stuff and I've had enough.
I do not want to write to branches where people even do not say what kind of video they decode (resolution, codec) and talk only about some mystical FPS. I just don't understand what they want to do. Also I'm not going to develop application only for my phone or for Android 2.2++ phones that have some extended OpenGL features. I have quite popular phone HTC Desire so if the application does not work on it, so what's next?
Well, what do I have?
FFMpeg source from the latest HEAD branch. Actually I could not buld it with NDK5 so I decided to use stolen one.
Bambuser's build script (bash) with appropriate ffmpeg source ([web]: http://bambuser.com/r/opensource/ffmpeg-4f7d2fe-android-2011-03-07.tar.gz). It builds well after some corrections by using NDK5.
Rockplayer's gelded ffmpeg source code with huge Android.mk in the capacity of build script ([web]: http://www.rockplayer.com/download/rockplayer_ffmpeg_git_20100418.zip).
It builds by NDK3 and NDK5 after some corrections. Rockplayer is probably the most cool media player for Android and I supposed that I would have some perks using it's build.
I had suitable video for a project (is not big and is not small): 600x360 H.264.
Both libraries we got from clauses 2 and 3 provide us possibility to get frames from video (frame-by-frame, seek etc.). I did not try to get an audio track because I did not need one for the project.
