Up until now, ff_alloc_packet2() has a min_size parameter: It is supposed to be a lower bound on the final size of the packet to allocate. If it is not too far from the upper bound (namely, if it is at least half the upper bound), then ff_alloc_packet2() already allocates the final, already refcounted packet; if it is not, then the packet is not refcounted and its data only points to a buffer owned by the AVCodecContext (in this case, the packet will be made refcounted in encode_simple_internal() in libavcodec/encode.c). The goal of this was to avoid data copies and intermediate buffers if one has a precise lower bound. Yet those encoders for which precise lower bounds exist have recently been switched to ff_get_encode_buffer() (which automatically allocates final buffers), leaving only two encoders to actually set the min_size to something else than zero (namely aliaspixenc and hapenc). Both of these encoders use a very low lower bound that is not helpful in any nontrivial case. This commit therefore removes the min_size parameter as well as the codepath in ff_alloc_packet2() for the allocation of final buffers. Furthermore, the function has been renamed to ff_alloc_packet() and moved to encode.h alongside ff_get_encode_buffer(). Signed-off-by: Andreas Rheinhardt <andreas.rheinhardt@outlook.com> |

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.
