    lavc: Clarify the behaviour of dimension and format context fields · 9af7e804
    Luca Barbato authored
    The AVCodecContext width, height, coded_width, coded_height and format
    are used mainly as decoding hints and they get internally overwritten
    during the data parsing stage.
    
    Do not assume they match the last AVFrame provided by
    avcodec_decode_video2 and assimilated functions since multi-threading
    and other frame reordering might make those values to refer to frames
    that will be outputted in the future.
