Parser for NAL units

[Xico Amorim]

Hello,

Im a student from Brazil and I'm trying to do a program, using C,
that opens a .264 video and split the NAL units that are inside it...
im trying to write the bytes of the file in a .txt file...
but I am having some troubles...
First of all, i cant find the end or the beginning of the nal unit...
second, the first byte of the file is already different from the nal header that i was waiting for... the first 3 bytes always are 0 0 1.... and i dont know what it means....

my program is this:
(im not an expert when the subject is programming....)

#include <cstdlib>
#include <iostream>
#include <fstream>
#include <stdio.h>
#include <string>

int main()
{

char filein[30], fileout[30];
unsigned char nalu[500000];
int nframes,n, luma_only, j, i, bl, upsample, a,b,c,d, m,p,nfr, wi, hi,w,h, nnalu, endofnal;
float prov;

printf("file name in: \n");
scanf("%s",filein);
FILE * pFile;
long lSize;
size_t result;
pFile = fopen ( filein , "rb" );

printf("file name out: \n");
scanf("%s",fileout);
FILE *fileopen;
fileopen = fopen ( fileout , "w" );


char ch; //Para a leitura dos caracteres
bl = 0; //count the num of bytes - not working
while ( fscanf(pFile, "%c", &ch) != EOF )
{
printf ("\n TESTE!\n");
i=0;
endofnal = 0;
while(endofnal==0)
{
i=i+1;
nalu[i] = fgetc(pFile);
fprintf (fileopen, "%d ", nalu[i]);
// if (i>4) {
if (nalu[i] == '3' || fscanf(pFile, "%c", &ch) == EOF)
{
endofnal = 1;
fprintf (fileopen, "\n Numero de bytes desta nal: %d\n", i);
bl = bl + i;
printf ("\n Numero de bytes desta nal: %d\n", i);
}

// }

}

}
fprintf (fileopen, "\n Num of bytes in file: %d\n", bl);
fclose(pFile);
fclose(fileopen);

printf("done!");
return 0;

}

someone have another way to do this??

is lika a parser for the nal units...

thanks anyway..
