Subject: [FFmpeg-devel] [PATCH 1/5] lavu: add av_dynarray_alloc_elem().
Date: Sun, 14 Apr 2013 03:07:54 +0200

With the introduction of AVFilterContext->is_disabled, we can simplify
the custom passthrough mode in filters.

This commit is technically a small compat break, but the timeline was
introduced very recently.

Fixes Bug 378.

Currently, we have a AV_CODEC_ID_SSA, which matches the way the ASS/SSA
markup is muxed in a standalone .ass/.ssa file. This means the AVPacket
data starts with a "Dialogue:" string, followed by a timing information
(start and end of the event as string) and a trailing CRLF after each
line. One packet can contain several lines. We'll refer to this layout
as "SSA" or "SSA lines".

In matroska, this markup is not stored as such: it has no "Dialogue:"
prefix, it contains a ReadOrder field, the timing information is not in
the payload, and it doesn't contain the trailing CRLF. See [1] for more
info. We'll refer to this layout as "ASS".

Since we have only one common codec for both formats, the matroska
demuxer is constructing an AVPacket following the "SSA lines" format.
This causes several problems, so it was decided to change this into
clean ASS packets.

Some insight about what is changed or unchanged in this commit:

  CODECS
  ------

  - the decoding process still writes "SSA lines" markup inside the ass
    fields of the subtitles rectangles (sub->rects[n]->ass), which is
    still the current common way of representing decoded subtitles
    markup. It is meant to change later.

  - new ASS codec id: AV_CODEC_ID_ASS (which is different from the
    legacy AV_CODEC_ID_SSA)

  - lavc/assdec: the "ass" decoder is renamed into "ssa" (instead of
    "ass") for consistency with the codec id and allows to add a real
    ass decoder. This ass decoder receives clean ASS lines (so it starts
    with a ReadOrder, is followed by the Layer, etc). We make sure this
    is decoded properly in a new ass-line rectangle of the decoded
    subtitles (the ssa decoder OTOH is doing a simple straightforward
    copy). Using the packet timing instead of data string makes sure the
    ass-line now contains the appropriate timing.

  - lavc/assenc: just like the ass decoder, the "ssa" encoder is renamed
    into "ssa" (instead of "ass") for consistency with the codec id, and
    allows to add a real "ass" encoder.

    One important thing about this encoder is that it only supports one
    ass rectangle: we could have put several dialogue events in the
    AVPacket (separated by a \0 for instance) but this would have cause
    trouble for the muxer which needs not only the start time, but also
    the duration: typically, you have merged events with the same start
    time (stored in the AVPacket->pts) but a different duration. At the
    moment, only the matroska do the merge with the SSA-line codec.

    We will need to make sure all the decoders in the future can't add
    more than one rectangle (and only one Dialogue line in it
    obviously).

  FORMATS
  -------

  - lavf/assenc: the .ass/.ssa muxer can take both SSA and ASS packets.
    In the case of ASS packets as input, it adds the timing based on the
    AVPacket pts and duration, and mux it with "Dialogue:", trailing
    CRLF, etc.

  - lavf/assdec: unchanged; it currently still only outputs SSA-lines
    packets.

  - lavf/mkv: the demuxer can now output ASS packets without the need of
    any "SSA-lines" reconstruction hack. It will become the default at
    next libavformat bump, and the SSA support will be dropped from the
    demuxer. The muxer can take ASS packets since it's muxed normally,
    and still supports the old SSA packets. All the SSA support and
    hacks in Matroska code will be dropped at next lavf bump.

Removes an arbitrary hardcoded limit on the number of filters.

The caller needs to know what valid indices can be passed to
avfilter_pad_get_name/type.

This will be useful in avtools in the following commits.
Any other caller might also want to know this information.

Drop the unused opaque parameter from its signature.

It will be useful in the following commits.

Since this function adds a standalone filter to a filter graph and we do
not support creating such filters, there is no reason for this function
to exist.

Since we do not support "standalone" filters not attached to an
AVFilterGraph, we should not have a public function to create such
filters. In addition that function is horribly named, the action it does
cannot be possibly described as "opening" a filter.

We do not support using filters without AVFilterGraph in practice
anyway, so there is no point in pretending we do.

This will be used in ffplay

The escape API will be useful to perform escaping programmatically, which
is required when crafting argument strings, and will be used for context
printing as well.

This is based on the ffescape tool code, with a few extensions and fixes.
