I understand the first steps are opening the encoder context and setting parameters. After that x264_picture_alloc() and friends but from here I'm kinda stuck because the x264 app only reads yuv4mpeg2 and perhaps avi streams. I will have to deal with a sequence of raw images though. They can be converted and all but how is a good way to feed them into the picture_t structure? What does the codec expect there?

Raw YV12.
