Since AVCodecContext contains a lot of complex state, copying a codec
context is not a well-defined operation. The purpose for which it is
typically used (which is well-defined) is copying the stream parameters
from one codec context to another. That is now possible with through the
AVCodecParameters API. Therefore, there is no reason for
avcodec_copy_context() to exist.
Register mmaldec as mpeg2 decoder. Supporting mpeg2 in mmaldec is just a
matter of setting the correct MMAL_ENCODING on the input port. To ease the
addition of further supported mmal codecs a macro is introduced to generate
the decoder and decoder class structs.

This can only be used if the input data happens to be laid out
exactly correctly.
This might not be supported on all encoders, so only enable it
with an option, but enable it automatically on raspberry pi,
where it is known to be supported.

The raspberry pi uses the alternative API/ABI for OMX; this makes
such builds incompatible with all the normal OpenMAX implementations.
Since this can't easily be detected at configure time (one can
build for raspberry pi's OMX just fine using the generic, pristine
Khronos OpenMAX IL headers, no need for their own extensions),
require a separate configure switch for it instead.
The broadcom host library can't be unloaded once loaded and started;
the deinit function that it provides is a no-op, and after started,
it has got background threads running, so dlclosing it makes it

Until now, the decoding API was restricted to outputting 0 or 1 frames
per input packet. It also enforces a somewhat rigid dataflow in general.
This new API seeks to relax these restrictions by decoupling input and
output. Instead of doing a single call on each decode step, which may
consume the packet and may produce output, the new API requires the user
to send input first, and then ask for output.
For now, there are no codecs supporting this API. The API can work with
codecs using the old API, and most code added here is to make them
interoperate. The reverse is not possible, although for audio it might.

This API is intended to allow passing around codec parameters without
using full AVCodecContext (which also contains codec options and
encoder/decoder state).
The b_frame_strategy option is only used by mpegvideoenc, qsv, x264, and
xavs, while b_sensitivity is only used by mpegvideoenc.
These are very codec-specific options, so deprecate the global variants.
Set proper limits to the maximum allowed values.

These variables are coming from mpegvideoenc where are supposedly used
as bit counters on various frame properties. However their use is
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
frame properties, and too few encoders support setting them with anything
useful.

Most option values are simply unused or ignored and in practice the
majory of codecs only need to check whether to enable rle or not.
Add appropriate codec private options which better expose the allowed

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 side data type is meant to be added to AVStream side data.
A fallback track indicates an alternate track to use when the
current track can not be decoded for some reason. e.g. no

Use the new fields directly instead of the ones from AVPicture.
This removes a layer of indirection which serves no pratical purpose
whatsoever, and will help in removing AVPicture structure completely
later.
Every subtitle encoder/decoder seamlessly points to the new arrays,
so it is possible to deprecate AVSubtitleRect.pict.

Note that convergence_duration had another meaning, one which was in
practice never used. The only real use for it was a 64 bit replacement
for the duration field. It's better just to make duration 64 bits, and
to get rid of it.

This option is extremely codec specific and only a few codecs employ it.

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.
