There are currently three possible modes for an output stream:
1) The stream is produced by encoding output from some filtergraph. This
is true when ost->enc_ctx != NULL, or equivalently when
ost->encoding_needed != 0.
2) The stream is produced by copying some input stream's packets. This
is true when ost->enc_ctx == NULL && ost->source_index >= 0.
3) The stream is produced by attaching some file directly. This is true
when ost->enc_ctx == NULL && ost->source_index < 0.
OutputStream.stream_copy is currently used to identify case 2), and
sometimes to confusingly (or even incorrectly) identify case 1). Remove
it, replacing its usage with checking enc_ctx/source_index values.
The streamcopy initialization code briefly needs an AVCodecContext to
apply AVOptions to. Allocate a temporary codec context, do not use the
encoding one.
It retrieves the muxer's internal timestamp with under-defined
semantics. Continuing to use this value would also require
synchronization once the muxer is moved to a separate thread.
Replace the value with last_mux_dts.
This field means different things when the video is encoded (number of
frames emitted to the encoding sync queue/encoder by the video sync
code) or copied (number of packets sent to the muxer sync queue).
Print the value of packets_written instead, which means the same thing
in both cases. It is also more accurate, since packets may be dropped by
the sync queue or bitstream filters.
Same issues apply to it as to -shortest.
Changes the results of the following tests:
- matroska-flac-extradata-update
The test reencodes two input FLAC streams into three output FLAC
streams. The last output stream is limited to 8 frames. The current
code results in the first two output streams having 12 frames, after
this commit all three streams have 8 frames and are the same length.
This new result is better, since it is predictable.
- mkv-1242
The test streamcopies one video and one audio stream, video is limited
to 11 frames. The new result shortens the audio stream so that it is
not longer than the video.
The -shortest option (which finishes the output file at the time the
shortest stream ends) is currently implemented by faking the -t option
when an output stream ends. This approach is fragile, since it depends
on the frames/packets being processed in a specific order. E.g. there
are currently some situations in which the output file length will
depend unpredictably on unrelated factors like encoder delay. More
importantly, the present work aiming at splitting various ffmpeg
components into different threads will make this approach completely
unworkable, since the frames/packets will arrive in effectively random
order.
This commit introduces a "sync queue", which is essentially a collection
of FIFOs, one per stream. Frames/packets are submitted to these FIFOs
and are then released for further processing (encoding or muxing) when
it is ensured that the frame in question will not cause its stream to
get ahead of the other streams (the logic is similar to libavformat's
interleaving queue).
These sync queues are then used for encoding and/or muxing when the
-shortest option is specified.
A new option – -shortest_buf_duration – controls the maximum number of
queued packets, to avoid runaway memory usage.
This commit changes the results of the following tests:
- copy-shortest[12]: the last audio frame is now gone. This is
correct, since it actually outlasts the last video frame.
- shortest-sub: the video packets following the last subtitle packet are
now gone. This is also correct.
The following commits will add a new buffering stage after bitstream
filters, which should not be taken into account for choosing next
output.
OutputStream.last_mux_dts is also used by the muxing code to make up
missing DTS values - that field is now moved to the muxer-private
MuxStream object.
The current placement of this free is historical - it used to be
followed by avcodec_close(), since removed.
The proper place for freeing the stats is currently right before the
encoder context itself is freed.
It is currently called from two places:
- output_packet() in ffmpeg.c, which submits the newly available output
packet to the muxer
- from of_check_init() in ffmpeg_mux.c after the header has been
written, to flush the muxing queue
Some packets will thus be processed by this function twice, so it
requires an extra parameter to indicate the place it is called from and
avoid modifying some state twice.
This is fragile and hard to follow, so split this function into two.
Also rename of_write_packet() to of_submit_packet() to better reflect
its new purpose.
The muxing queue currently lives in OutputStream, which is a very large
struct storing the state for both encoding and muxing. The muxing queue
is only used by the code in ffmpeg_mux, so it makes sense to restrict it
to that file.
This makes the first step towards reducing the scope of OutputStream.
Figure out earlier whether the output stream/file should be bitexact and
store this information in a flag in OutputFile/OutputStream.
Stop accessing the muxer in set_encoder_id(), which will become
forbidden in future commits.
The current code postpones closing the files until after printing the
final report, which accesses the output file size. Deal with this by
storing the final file size before closing the file.
Move the file size checking code to ffmpeg_mux. Use the recently
introduced of_filesize(), making this code consistent with the size
shown by print_report().
Frame counters can overflow relatively easily (INT_MAX number of frames is
slightly more than 1 year for 60 fps content), so make sure we are always
using 64 bit values for them.
A live stream can easily run for more than a year and the framedup logic breaks
on an overflow.

This is a more appropriate place for this code, since the values we read
from AV_PKT_DATA_QUALITY_STATS side data are primarily written into
video stats. This ensures that the values written into stats actually
apply to the right packet.
Rename the function to update_video_stats() to better reflect its new
purpose.
It retrieves libavformat's internal dts value (contrary to the
function's name), which is not only incorrect in general, but also
unnecessary because we can access the packet directly.
Its use for muxing is not documented, in practice it is incremented per
each packet successfully passed to the muxer's write_packet(). Since
there is a lot of indirection between ffmpeg receiving a packet from the
encoder and it actually being written (e.g. bitstream filters, the
interleaving queue), using nb_frames here is incorrect.
Add a new counter for packets received from encoder instead.
This field is currently used by checks
- skipping packets before the first keyframe
- skipping packets before start time
to test whether any packets have been output already. But since
frame_number is incremented after the bitstream filters are applied
(which may involve delay), this use is incorrect. The keyframe check
works around this by adding an extra flag, the start-time check does
not.
Simplify both checks by replacing the seen_kf flag with a flag tracking
whether any packets have been output by do_streamcopy().
Especially useful when debugging subtitle output, but also shows
if values are set or not for demux and encoding.

This avoids including version.h in all source files, avoiding
unnecessary rebuilds when the version number is bumped. Only
version_major.h is included by the main header, which defines
availability of e.g. FF_API_* macros, and which is bumped much
less often.
This isn't done for libavutil/version.h, because that header needs
to be included essentially everywhere due to LIBAVUTIL_VERSION_INT
being used wherever an AVClass is constructed.

Fixes ticket 9086.
Since early 2021, some of YouTube's VP9 encodes have non-monotonous DTS.
This makes ffmpeg fatally fail when trying to copy or encode the V9 video.
ffmpeg already includes functionality to correct this, however it was
disabled without explanation for VP9 stream copies in
2e6636aa87
This patch restores the DTS correction logic, and allows ffmpeg to correctly
encode (invalid) videos produced by youtube.com. I have verified that frames
are NOT being cut (so it does not re-introduce 4313).

If the input stream framerate is known, it will be configured on the
relevant filtergraph input and get propagated to the output stream in
the above line. That makes these assignments redundant.
The only caller of do_video_out() doesn't need the frame afterwards,
ergo one can replace an av_frame_ref() by av_frame_move_ref().

This was almost completely redundant. The only functionality that's no longer
available after this removal is the videotoolbox_pixfmt arg, which has been
obsolete for several years.
The types used by the AVFifo API are inconsistent:
av_fifo_(space|size)() returns an int; av_fifo_alloc() takes an
unsigned, other parts use size_t. This commit therefore ensures
that the size of the muxing_queue FIFO never exceeds INT_MAX.
While just at it, also make sure not to call av_fifo_size()
unnecessarily often.

send_frame_to_filters() sends a frame to all the filters that
need said frame; for every filter except the last one this involves
creating a reference to the frame, because
av_buffersrc_add_frame_flags() by default takes ownership of
the supplied references. Yet said function has a flag which
changes its behaviour to create a reference itself.
This commit uses this flag and stops creating the references itself;
this allows to remove the spare AVFrame holding the temporary
references; it also avoids unreferencing said frame.

Currently, the code doing this is spread over several places and may
behave in unexpected ways. E.g. automatic 'default' marking is only done
for streams fed by complex filtergraphs. It is also applied in the order
in which the output streams are initialized, which is effectively
random.
Move processing the dispositions at the end of open_output_file(), when
we already have all the necessary information.
Apply the automatic default marking only if no explicit -disposition
options were supplied by the user, and apply it to the first stream of
each type (excluding attached pics) when there is more than one stream
of that type and no default markings were copied from the input streams.
Explicitly document the new behavior.
Changes the results of some tests, where the output file gets a default
disposition, while it previously did not.
When viewing logs, it's sometimes useful to be able to see whether
execution was ended via q command.
