Using libavformat and libavcodec(3)

Cleaning up

Ok, we've read and processed our video, now all that's left for us to do is clean up after ourselves:

// Free the RGB image delete[] buffer; av_free(pFrameRGB); // Free the YUV frame av_free(pFrame); // Close the codec avcodec_close(pCodecCtx); // Close the video file av_close_input_file(pFormatCtx); 

Done!
