It serves absolutely no purpose other than to confuse potentional
Android developers about how to use hardware acceleration properly
on the the platform. The stagefright "API" is not public, and the
MediaCodec API is the proper way to do this.
Furthermore, stagefright support in avcodec needs a series of
magic incantations and version-specific stuff, such that
using it actually provides downsides compared just using the actual
Android frameworks properly, in that it is a lot more work and confusion
to get it even running. It also leads to a lot of misinformation, like
these sorts of comments (in [1]) that are absolutely incorrect.

These variables are coming from mpegvideoenc where are supposedly used

unclear as they lack documentation, are available only from a very small
subset of encoders, and they are hardly used in the wild. Also frame_bits
in aacenc is employed in a similar way.
Remove this functionality from AVCodecContex, these variable are mostly

avcodec: Define side data type for fallback track
Merged-by: Derek Buitenhuis <derek.buitenhuis@gmail.com>
This function returns the encoded data of a frame, one slice at a time
directly when that slice is encoded, instead of waiting for the full
frame to be done. However this field has a debatable usefulness, since
it looks like it is just a convoluted way to get data at lowest
possible latency, or a somewhat hacky way to store h263 in RFC-2190
rtp encapsulation.
Moreover when multi-threading is enabled (which is by default) the order
of returned slices is not deterministic at all, making the use of this
function not reliable at all (or at the very least, more complicated
than it should be).
So, for the reasons stated above, and being used by only a single encoder
family (mpegvideo), this field is deemed unnecessary, overcomplicated,
and not really belonging to libavcodec. Libavformat features a complete
implementation of RFC-2190, for any other case.

This commit shall introduce the first step of adding support for the

development, the codec is showing good progress and exchanging work
through IETF drafts. The companies behind Daala are also participating
in the Alliance for Open Media, so it's likely that whatever the result
any of these collaborations produce it's probable that elements from
Daala could be used in them, or perhaps this codec itself could be the
result.

The rationale is that coded_frame was only used to communicate key_frame,
pict_type and quality to the caller, as well as a few other random fields,
in a non predictable, let alone consistent way.
There was agreement that there was no use case for coded_frame, as it is
a full-sized AVFrame container used for just 2-3 int-sized properties,
which shouldn't even belong into the AVCodecContext in the first place.
The appropriate AVPacket flag can be used instead of key_frame, while
quality is exported with the new AVPacketSideData quality factor.
There is no replacement for the other fields as they were unreliable,
mishandled or just not used at all.

Ideally this should be discarded by the demuxer but this is not
possible without fully parsing which would be then very similar
to this. The current ID3v1 discard code in the demuxer does not work

WebPAnimEncoder API is a combination of encoder (WebPEncoder) and muxer
(WebPMux). It performs several optimizations to make it more efficient
than the combination of WebPEncode() and native ffmpeg muxer.
When WebPAnimEncoder API is used:
- In the encoder layer: we use WebPAnimEncoderAdd() instead of
WebPEncode().
- The muxer layer: works like a raw muxer.
On the other hand, when WebPAnimEncoder API isn't available, the old code is
used as it is:
- In the codec layer: WebPEncode is used to encode each frame
- In the muxer layer: ffmpeg muxer is used

Compared to existing, common opensource H264 encoders, this can be
useful since it has got a different license (BSD instead of GPL).
Performance- and qualitywise it is comparable to x264 in ultrafast
mode.
Hooking it up as an encoder in libavcodec also simplifies comparing
it against other common encoders.
This requires OpenH264 1.3 or newer. Since the OpenH264 API and ABI
changes frequently, only releases are supported.
To take advantage of the OpenH264 patent offer, the OpenH264 library
must not be redistributed, but downloaded at runtime at the end-user's

For streams which contain DRC metadata, the FDK decoder is able to

The default behavior is left up to the decoder.
Signed-off-by: Martin Storsjö <martin@martin.st>
The FDK decoder is capable of producing mono and stereo downmix from
multichannel streams. These streams may contain metadata that control
the downmix process. The decoder requires an Ancillary Buffer in order to
correctly apply downmix in streams containing downmix Metadata. The
decoder does not have an API interface to inform of the presence of
Metadata in the stream, and therefore the Ancillary Buffer is always
allocated whenever a downmix is requested.
When downmixing multichannel streams, the decoder requires the output
buffer in aacDecoder_DecodeFrame call to be of fixed size in order to
hold the actual number of channels contained in the stream. For example,
for a 5.1ch to stereo downmix, the decoder requires that the output buffer
is allocated for 6 channels, regardless of the fact that the output is in
fact two channels.
Due to this requirement, the output buffer is allocated for the maximum
output buffer size in case a downmix is requested (and also during
decoder init). When a downmix is requested, the buffer used for output
during init will also be used for the entire duration the decoder is open.
Otherwise, the initial decoder output buffer is freed and the decoder
decodes straight into the output AVFrame.

When decoding, this field holds the inverse of the framerate that can be

it. Furthermore, this field is used for a very different purpose during
encoding.
Add a new field, called 'framerate', to replace the use of time_base for
decoding.
Decoding acceleration may work even if the codec level is higher than
the stated limit of the VDPAU driver. Or the problem may be considered
acceptable by the user. This flag allows skipping the codec level
capability checks and proceed with decoding.
Applications should obviously not set this flag by default, but only if
the user explicitly requested this behavior (and presumably knows how
to turn it back off if it fails).

Currently, the amount of padding inserted at the beginning by some audio

- the term 'delay' is heavily overloaded and can have multiple different
meanings even in the case of audio encoding.
- this field has entirely different meanings, depending on whether the
codec context is used for encoding or decoding (and has yet another
different meaning for video), preventing generic handling of the codec
context.
Therefore, add a new field -- AVCodecContext.initial_padding. It could
conceivably be used for decoding as well at a later point.
The register function now specifies that the user callback should
leave things in the same state that it found them on failure but
