Currently, AVStream contains an embedded AVCodecContext instance, which
is used by demuxers to export stream parameters to the caller and by
muxers to receive stream parameters from the caller. It is also used
internally as the codec context that is passed to parsers.
In addition, it is also widely used by the callers as the decoding (when
demuxer) or encoding (when muxing) context, though this has been
officially discouraged since Libav 11.
There are multiple important problems with this approach:
- the fields in AVCodecContext are in general one of
* stream parameters
* codec options
* codec state
However, it's not clear which ones are which. It is consequently
unclear which fields are a demuxer allowed to set or a muxer allowed to
read. This leads to erratic behaviour depending on whether decoding or
encoding is being performed or not (and whether it uses the AVStream
embedded codec context).
- various synchronization issues arising from the fact that the same
context is used by several different APIs (muxers/demuxers,
parsers, bitstream filters and encoders/decoders) simultaneously, with
there being no clear rules for who can modify what and the different
processes being typically delayed with respect to each other.
- avformat_find_stream_info() making it necessary to support opening
and closing a single codec context multiple times, thus
complicating the semantics of freeing various allocated objects in the
codec context.
Those problems are resolved by replacing the AVStream embedded codec
context with a newly added AVCodecParameters instance, which stores only
the stream parameters exported by the demuxers or read by the muxers.

mp4 files embedding DVD subtitles do not use the same extradata format
as the rest of Libav expects. The subtitle decoder in libavcodec in
particular does not understand this format.
Convert the extradata to the vobsub .idx format. mp4 stores the palette
as binary 32 bit ints in YUV. The subtitle resolution is stored
separately in the track header, which we access through AVStream.

'hvc1' requires that parameter set NAL units be
present only in the samples entry, but not in the
samples themselves, requiring that additional
parameter sets, if present, be filtered out of the
samples and placed in new, additional sample entries
if they override or otherwise conflict with the
parameter sets present in the first sample entry.
We do not have any way of doing this at present, so
the files we produce can only comply with the
restrictions set for the 'hev1' sample entry name in
ISO/IEC 14496-15.
The correct point that seperates ISO and MAC language codes is 0x400
according to the current QT spec. Old QT specs did not list where this
seperation is but apparently only defined the meaning of the first 137.
It is my understanding that "Unless otherwise stated, all data in a
QuickTime movie is stored in big-endian byte ordering" [1] in MOV files.
I have a couple of thousand files, which technically are invalid because
their sound sample description element 4CC is 'lpcm' but its version is
0 - and "Version 0 supports only uncompressed audio in raw ('raw ') or
twos-complement ('twos') format" [2]
Because isom.c only contains a mapping for 4CC 'lpcm' to
AV_CODEC_ID_PCM_S16LE, these files have their audio decoded as LE when
it is actually BE.
This commit adds AV_CODEC_ID_PCM_S16BE as the first match for 4CC 'lpcm'.

The sample in https://bugzilla.libav.org/show_bug.cgi?id=393 and
samples/F4V/H263_NM_f.mp4 both have codec_tag H263 for different
codecs. H263 is apparently used by Flash Media Server for Sorensen
Spark videos.
Patch based on commit 5442083b1c by
Carl Eugen Hoyos. Fixes bug 393.
Prefix the functions/tables brktimegm, pcm_read_seek,
dv_offset_reset, voc_get_packet, codec_movaudio_tags,
codec_movvideo_tags.
After this, lavf has no global symbols without the proper prefix.

Pass the correct size in bits to mpeg4audio_get_config and add a flag
to disable parsing of the sync extension when the size is not known.
Latm with AudioMuxVersion 0 does not specify the size of the audio
specific config. Data after the audio specific config can be
misinterpreted as sync extension resulting in random and wrong configs.
