public abstract class MediaFilter
extends Object
implements FormatFilter

Abstract class which defines the default settings for a *simple* Media or Format Filter. This class may be extended by any class which wishes to define a simple filter to be run by the MediaFilterManager. More complex filters should likely implement the FormatFilter interface directly, so that they can define their own pre/postProcessing methods.

Modifier and Type	Method and Description
void	postProcessBitstream(Context c, Item item, Bitstream generatedBitstream) Perform any post-processing of the generated bitstream *after* this filter has already been run.
boolean	preProcessBitstream(Context c, Item item, Bitstream source, boolean verbose) Perform any pre-processing of the source bitstream *before* the actual filtering takes place in MediaFilterManager.processBitstream().

Method Detail

preProcessBitstream

public boolean preProcessBitstream(Context c,
                                   Item item,
                                   Bitstream source,
                                   boolean verbose)
                            throws Exception

Perform any pre-processing of the source bitstream *before* the actual filtering takes place in MediaFilterManager.processBitstream().

Return true if pre-processing is successful (or no pre-processing is necessary). Return false if bitstream should be skipped for any reason.

Specified by:

preProcessBitstream in interface FormatFilter

Parameters:

c - context

item - item containing bitstream to process

source - source bitstream to be processed

verbose - verbose mode

Returns:

true if bitstream processing should continue, false if this bitstream should be skipped

Throws:

Exception - if error

postProcessBitstream

public void postProcessBitstream(Context c,
                                 Item item,
                                 Bitstream generatedBitstream)
                          throws Exception

Perform any post-processing of the generated bitstream *after* this filter has already been run.

Return true if pre-processing is successful (or no pre-processing is necessary). Return false if bitstream should be skipped for some reason.

Specified by:

postProcessBitstream in interface FormatFilter

Parameters:

c - context

item - item containing bitstream to process

generatedBitstream - the bitstream which was generated by this filter.

Throws:

Exception
