How to get AVFrame(ffmpeg) from NSImage/UIImage - iphone

Question

I'd like to convert NSImage/UIImage to AVFrame(ffmpeg).
I found a example code.
http://lists.mplayerhq.hu/pipermail/libav-user/2010-April/004550.html
but this code doesn't work.
I tried another approach.
AVFrame *frame = avcodec_alloc_frame();
int numBytes = avpicture_get_size(PIX_FMT_YUV420P, outputWidth, outputHeight);
uint8_t *buffer = (uint8_t *)av_malloc(numBytes*sizeof(uint8_t));
avpicture_fill((AVPicture *)frame, buffer, PIX_FMT_YUV420P, outputWidth, outputHeight);
//UIImage *image = … smothing … ;
NSImage *image = … smothing … ;
//CGImageRef newCgImage = image.CGImage;
CGImageRef newCgImage = [image CGImageForProposedRect:nil context:nil hints:nil];
//NSBitmapImageRep* bm = [NSBitmapImageRep imageRepWithData:[image TIFFRepresentation]];
//CGImageRef newCgImage = [bm CGImage];
size_t w = CGImageGetWidth(newCgImage);
size_t h = CGImageGetHeight(cgImage);
CGDataProviderRef dataProvider = CGImageGetDataProvider(newCgImage);
CFDataRef bitmapData = CGDataProviderCopyData(dataProvider);
uint8_t *buffer = (uint8_t *)CFDataGetBytePtr(bitmapData);
frame->linesize[0] = w;
int y, x;
for (y = 0; y < h; y++) {
for (x = 0; x < w; x++) {
int z = y * w + x;
frame->data[0][z] = buffer[z];
}
}
but this AVFrame give me green picture.
Please let me know how can i get it.
Thanks.
following is additional.
I tried again with paying attention color format.
I found example to conver RGB to YUM.

OBJS = test.o
test: $(OBJS)
$(CC) -o $# $(LDFLAGS) $(OBJS) $(LDLIBS) $(FRAMEWORK) -lz -lbz2 -arch x86_64
Please somebody help me.

There is a colorspace mismatch between the data of the CGImage and the destination AVFrame. In order to fix that, you need to convert the CGImage data (probably in ARGB) into the YUV420 format (FFMpeg has built-in format converter). You can get information on the colorspace of a CGImage with the CGImageGetBitsPerComponent, CGImageGetBitsPerPixel and CGImageGetBytesPerRow functions.
