This reverts commit dea673d0d5.
This change cannot work for several reasons, the most obvious ones are:
- the alpha is being part of the scoring of the color difference, even
though we can not interpret the alpha as part of the perception of the
color (we don't even know if it's premultiplied or postmultiplied)
- the colors are averaged with their alpha value which simply cannot
work
The command proposed in the original thread of the patch actually
produces a completely broken file:
ffmpeg -y -loglevel verbose -i fate-suite/apng/o_sample.png -filter_complex "split[split1][split2];[split1]palettegen=max_colors=254:use_alpha=1[pal1];[split2][pal1]paletteuse=use_alpha=1" -frames:v 1 out.png
We can see that many color pixels are off, but more importantly some
colors have a random alpha value: https://imgur.com/eFQ2UK7
I don't see any easy fix for this unfortunately, the approach appears to
be flawed by design.
New option can be used to avoid creating very short segments with inputs
whose GOP size is variable or unharmonic with segment_time.
Only effective with segment_time.
We shouldn't be providing links to unverified and non-FFmpeg-controlled
content in our documentation.

Bring it up to date with current practice, as the current text does not
cover everything. Drop the reference to unprefixed exported symbols,
which do not exist anymore.
It describes a general development policy, not code formatting. It is
also not true, as these days we tend to prioritize correctness, safety,
and completeness over code size.
It is currently very out of touch with reality.

VP6 alpha in EA format is a second VP6 encoded video stream where only the Y
component is used and is interpreted as the alpha channel of the first VP6
stream. The alpha VP6 stream is muxed separately from the main VP6 stream, has
its own stream headers and packet headers. In theory the two streams might not
even have the same resolution (although most likely that is not something that
is seen or supported in the wild), but the format is capable of doing it.
Merged VP6 alpha (also known as the VP6A codec) means that a packet of the
video stream contains the corresponding packet of both VP6 substreams like
this:
{OffsetOfAlpha, DataPacket, AlphaDataPacket}
So data and alpha data of a frame is merged to a single packet, this is how VP6
video with alpha is muxed in FLV and SWF.
The first approach is more like how the demuxer sees data in the EA format,
unfortunately it is different to what the FLV or SWF format expects, so -
having no better place for it in the framework - I decided to do an optional
format conversion in the EA demuxer.

Add qsv_transcode example which shows how to use qsv to do hardware
accelerated transcoding, also show how to dynamically set encoding
parameters.
examples:
Normal usage:
qsv_transcode input.mp4 h264_qsv output.mp4 "g 60"
Dynamic setting usage:
qsv_transcode input.mp4 hevc_qsv output.mp4 "g 60 asyne_depth 1"
100 "g 120"
This command initializes codec with gop_size 60 and change it to
120 after 100 frames

As a result of a typo in the source code, this option was completely
non-functional. In order to fix it, without breaking the current default
behavior, explicitly change this default to 0.
This behavior is also consistent with how other scale filters behave by
default, so it's probably best to enshrine it anyways.
Drop the reference to directly committing code, because
- it is highly discouraged and very rarely done these days
- there is no good reason NOT to submit patches for review
Add a link to the development policy chapter.
Add skip_frame support to qsvenc. Use per-frame metadata
"qsv_skip_frame" to control it. skip_frame option defines the behavior
of qsv_skip_frame.
no_skip: Frame skipping is disabled.
insert_dummy: Encoder inserts into bitstream frame where all macroblocks
are encoded as skipped.
insert_nothing: Similar to insert_dummy, but encoder inserts nothing.
The skipped frames are still used in brc. For example, gop still include
skipped frames, and the frames after skipped frames will be larger in
size.
brc_only: skip_frame metadata indicates the number of missed frames
before the current frame.

There are sill many users of these APIs within libav*, so this commit
introduced too many deprecation warnings, making compilation too noisy and
potentially hiding legit warnings.
Once the remaining users are ported, this can be reapplied.
This reverts commit 76d0038579.
This is a more explicit iteration API rather than using the "magic"
av_dict_get(d, "", t, AV_DICT_IGNORE_SUFFIX) which is not really
trivial to grasp what it does when casually reading through code.

summary: This patch modifies the `curves` filter with new `interp` option
to let user pick the existing natural cubic spline interpolation
and the new PCHIP interapolation.
reason: The natural cubic spline does not impose monotonicity between
the keypoints. As such, the fitted curve may vary wildly against
user's intension. The PCHIP interpolation is not as smooth as
the natural spline but guarantees the monotonicity. Providing
both options enhances users experience (e.g., reduces the number
of keypoints to realize the desired curve). See the related bug
report for the example of an ill-interpolated curve.
alternate solution:
Both Photoshop and GIMP appear to use monotonic interpolation in
their curve tools, which were the models for this filter. As
such, an alternate solution is to drop the natural spline and
go without the `interp` option.

This enables overriding the rotation as well as horizontal/vertical
flip state of a specific video stream on the input side.
Additionally, switch the singular test that was utilizing the rotation
metadata to instead override the input display rotation, thus leading
to the same result.
The FF_PAD_STRUCTURE is too complex for doxygen to be able to
properly handle, resulting in completely broken AVBPrint documentation.
To fix that, tell Doxygen what to expand that macro to.
Add an AV_PIX_FMT_NE macro for RGB32FBE/RGB32FLE and also one for
RGBA32FBE/RGBA32FLE for packed 32-bit float RGB samples, and also
packed 32-bit float RGBA samples, respectively.

Apparently this option was intended (the context contains a
currently-unused frame_rate field), but was never added. This results in
the output timebase being unset after config_output(), so the input
audio timebase ends up being used for video output, which is clearly
wrong.
Add an option for setting output video framerate. Also set output frame
durations.
It has been deprecated in favor of the aresample filter for almost 10
years.
Another thing this option can do is drop audio timestamps and have them
generated by the encoding code or the muxer, but
- for encoding, this can already be done with the setpts filter
- for muxing this should almost never be done as timestamp generation by
the muxer is deprecated, but people who really want to do this can use
the setts bitstream filter
Users can't make anything with its content.
Making it opaque might allow us to avoid one level of indirection.

avcodec_enum_to_chroma_pos() and avcodec_chroma_pos_to_enum()
deal with enum AVChromaLocation which is defined in lavu.
These functions are therefore replaced by
av_chroma_location_enum_to_pos() and av_chroma_location_pos_to_enum().
This commit provides the necessary deprecations. Also already make
these functions wrappers around the corresponding lavu functions
as not doing so would force one to disable deprecation warnings.

There is no check for whether these supposedly redundant PPS
are actually redundant. One could check via memcmp which would
work in practice* (because all content buffers are initially
zero-allocated), but this is not portable as compilers may
trash padding inside structures as they wish.
In case the PPS is not really redundant the output is garbage.
This happens with several files from the FATE-suite. E.g.
h264-conformance/CVCANLMA2_Sony_C.jsv doesn't decode correctly
any more, whereas h264-conformance/CABA3_TOSHIBA_E.264 even
fails in ff_cbs_write_packet(), because the inferred value
of num_ref_idx_l0_active_minus1 mismatches with the value set
in the slice (this happens when num_ref_idx_l0_default_active_minus1
changes in the PPS; the value in the slice header is inferred from
the original PPS's num_ref_idx_l0_default_active_minus1).
*: Unless slice_group_id is used, i.e. unless slice_group_map_type
is six.

Currently AVBR is disabled and VBR is the default method if maxrate is
not specified on Linux, but AVBR is the default one if maxrate is not
specified on Windows. In order to make user experience better accross
Linux and Windows, use VBR by default on Windows if maxrate is not
specified. User need to set both avbr_accuracy and avbr_convergence to
non-zero explicitly and not to specify maxrate if AVBR is expected.
In addition, AVBR works for H264 and HEVC only in the SDK.

These are the formats we want/need to use when dealing with the Intel
VAAPI decoder for 12bit 4:2:0, 12bit 4:2:2, 10bit 4:4:4 and 12bit 4:4:4
respectively.
As with the already supported Y210 and YUVX (XVUY) formats, they are
based on formats Microsoft picked as their preferred 4:2:2 and 4:4:4
video formats, and Intel ran with it.
P12 and Y212 are simply an extension of 10 bit formats to say 12 bits
will be used, with 4 unused bits instead of 6.
XV30, and XV36, as exotic as they sound, are variants of Y410 and Y412
where the alpha channel is left formally undefined. We prefer these
over the alpha versions because the hardware cannot actually do
anything with the alpha channel and respecting it is just overhead.
Y412/XV46 is a normal looking packed 4 channel format where each
channel is 16bits wide but only the 12msb are used (like P012).
Y410/XV30 packs three 10bit channels in 32bits with 2bits of alpha,
like A/X2RGB10 style formats. This annoying layout forced me to define
the BE version as a bitstream format. It seems like our pixdesc
infrastructure can handle the LE version being byte-defined, but not
when it's reversed. If there's a better way to handle this, please
let me know. Our existing X2 formats all have the 2 bits at the MSB
end, but this format places them at the LSB end and that seems to be
the root of the problem.
It has been deprecated in b4f59beeb4,
but the attribute_deprecated was not set and there was no entry
in APIchanges. This commit adds these and schedules it for removal.
Given that the reason behind the deprecation is exactly the same
as in av_fopen_utf8(), reuse its FF_API_AV_FOPEN_UTF8.
