How to test the samples?

[Li__Desmond]

Greetings from a beginner programmer, I've downloaded the samples and the codes are able to build and compile. As I've clicked the application (e.g sample_decode.exe), the console exits itself.

I wonder how I could test the samples where I've found the ones in "_bin/content" folder.

Run them from the console window (cmd.exe for example) You will see the output of the samples there.

Thanks. As I've input the parameters based on the examples from ReadMe PDFs (e.g sample_encode.exe h264 -i input.yuv -o output.h264 -w 720 -h 480 -hw
