A simplest video encoder based on FFmpeg.
It is based on VC 2010. It is suitable for beginner of FFmpeg.
It encodes YUV420P data to H.264 bitstream. It only uses about 100 lines of code.

Eacn line of source code is important. New developer of FFmpeg can learn FFmpeg's API through this software.

simplest_ffmpeg_video_encoder: Simple Encoder. It uses libavcodec to encode video and uses libavformat to add container format to the video bitstream.
simplest_ffmpeg_video_encoder_pure: Pure Encoder. It only uses libavcodec to encode video (without libavformat).
