Andreas Rheinhardt 3f6e715336 avcodec/frame_thread_encoder: Avoid dictionaries
avcodec_open2() allows to provide options via an AVDictionary;
but it is also allowed to set options by simply setting the value
of the AVCodecContext or via the AVOptions API if the codec has
a private class. Any options provided via an AVDictionary have already
been applied before ff_frame_thread_init(), so in order to copy
all the options from the main AVCodecContext and its private context,
it is enough to av_opt_copy() these options.

The current code does this, but it does more: It also copies the
user-provided AVDictionary and uses it for the initialization of
each of the worker-AVCodecContexts. This is completely unnecessary,
because said options have already been copied from the main context.

Furthermore, these options were also examined to decide if frame
threading should be used for huffman encoding in case this would incur
nondeterminism. This is wrong, because options not set via
an AVDictionary are ignored. Instead inspect the values stored in the
contexts directly. (In order to maintain the current behaviour, the
default value of the "non_deterministic" option has been changed to false,
because the absence of an entry with said key in the AVDictionary
had the consequence of disallowing nondeterminism.)

Finally, the AVDictionary has been removed from the signature of
ff_frame_thread_encoder_init().

FFmpeg README

FFmpeg is a collection of libraries and tools to process multimedia content such as audio, video, subtitles and related metadata.

Libraries

  • libavcodec provides implementation of a wider range of codecs.
  • libavformat implements streaming protocols, container formats and basic I/O access.
  • libavutil includes hashers, decompressors and miscellaneous utility functions.
  • libavfilter provides a mean to alter decoded Audio and Video through chain of filters.
  • libavdevice provides an abstraction to access capture and playback devices.
  • libswresample implements audio mixing and resampling routines.
  • libswscale implements color conversion and scaling routines.

Tools

  • ffmpeg is a command line toolbox to manipulate, convert and stream multimedia content.
  • ffplay is a minimalistic multimedia player.
  • ffprobe is a simple analysis tool to inspect multimedia content.
  • Additional small tools such as aviocat, ismindex and qt-faststart.

Documentation

The offline documentation is available in the doc/ directory.

The online documentation is available in the main website and in the wiki.
