That function only contains two checks now - whether the muxer returned
EOF and whether the packet timestamp is before requested output start
time.
The first check is unnecessary, since the packet will just be rejected
by the muxer. The second check is better combined with a related check
directly in do_streamcopy().
Currently, output streams where an input stream is sent directly (i.e.
not through lavfi) are determined by iterating over ALL the output
streams and skipping the irrelevant ones. This is awkward and
inefficient.
The channel layout is set before opening the encoder, in enc_open().
Messing with it in configure_output_audio_filter() cannot accomplish
anything meaningful.
This option adds a long string of numbers to the progress line, where
i-th number contains the base-2 logarithm of the number of times a frame
with this QP value was seen by print_report().
There are multiple problems with this feature:
* despite this existing since 2005, web search shows no indication
that it was ever useful for any meaningful purpose;
* the format of what is printed is entirely undocumented, one has to
find it out from the source code;
* QP values above 31 are silently ignored;
* it only works with one video stream;
* as it relies on global state, it is in conflict with ongoing
architectural changes.
It then seems that the nontrivial cost of maintaining this option is not
worth its negligible (or possibly negative - since it pollutes the
already large option space) value.
Users who really need similar functionality can also implement it
themselves using -vstats.
Current code in print_final_stats(), printing the final summary such as
video:8851kB audio:548kB subtitle:0kB other streams:0kB global headers:20kB muxing overhead: 0.559521%
was written with a single output file in mind and makes very little
sense otherwise.
Print this information in mux_final_stats() instead, one line per output
file. Use the correct filesize, if available.
This is currently done in two places:
* at the end of print_final_stats(), which merely prints a warning if
the total size of all written packets is zero
* at the end of transcode() (under a misleading historical 'close each
encoder' comment), which instead checks the packet count to implement
-abort_on empty_output[_stream]
Consolidate both of these blocks into a single function called from
of_write_trailer(), which is a more appropriate place for this. Also,
return an error code rather than exit immediately, which ensures all
output files are properly closed.
Properly pass muxing return codes through the call stack instead.
Slightly changes behavior in case of errors:
* the output IO stream is closed even if writing the trailer returns an
error, which should be more correct
* all files get properly closed with -xerror, even if one of them fails
It is video encoding-only and does not need to be visible outside of
ffmpeg_enc.c
Also, rename the variable to frames_prev_hist to be consistent with
the naming in do_video_out().
Drop unneeded ctype.h and math.h.
Group all system headers together.
Sort unconditional includes alphabetically.
Group local includes by the library, sort alphabetically.
Several places in the code currently call init_output_stream_wrapper(),
which in turn calls init_output_stream(), which then calls either
enc_open() or init_output_stream_streamcopy(), followed by
of_stream_init(), which tells the muxer the stream is ready for muxing.
All except one of these callers are in the encoding code, which will be
moved to ffmpeg_enc.c. Keeping this structure would then necessitate
ffmpeg_enc.c calling back into the common code in ffmpeg.c, which would
then just call ffmpeg_mux, thus making the already convoluted call chain
even more so.
Simplify the situation by using separate paths for filter-fed output
streams (audio and video encoders) and others (subtitles, streamcopy,
data, attachments).
Encoder initialization is currently split rather arbitrarily between
init_output_stream_encode() and init_output_stream(). Move all of it to
init_output_stream_encode().
The code currently uses lavfi for this, which creates a sort of
configuration dependency loop - the encoder should be ideally
initialized with information from the first audio frame, but to get this
frame one needs to first open the encoder to know the frame size. This
necessitates an awkward workaround, which causes audio handling to be
different from video.
With this change, audio encoder initialization is congruent with video.
For audio AVFrames, nb_samples is typically more trustworthy than
duration. Since sync queues look at durations, make sure they match the
sample count.
The last audio frame in the fate-shortest test is now gone. This is more
correct, since it outlasts the last video frame.
