* vd_lavc: remove -lavdopts vstats suboptionwm42013-01-131-3/+0
| | | | | | This printed per-frame statistics into a file, like bitrate or frame type. Not very useful and accesses obscure AVCodecContext fields (danger of deprecation/breakage), so get rid of it.
* video: decouple internal pixel formats from FourCCswm42013-01-131-1/+0
| | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | mplayer's video chain traditionally used FourCCs for pixel formats. For example, it used IMGFMT_YV12 for 4:2:0 YUV, which was defined to the string 'YV12' interpreted as unsigned int. Additionally, it used to encode information into the numeric values of some formats. The RGB formats had their bit depth and endian encoded into the least significant byte. Extended planar formats (420P10 etc.) had chroma shift, endian, and component bit depth encoded. (This has been removed in recent commits.) Replace the FourCC mess with a simple enum. Remove all the redundant formats like YV12/I420/IYUV. Replace some image format names by something more intuitive, most importantly IMGFMT_YV12 -> IMGFMT_420P. Add img_fourcc.h, which contains the old IDs for code that actually uses FourCCs. Change the way demuxers, that output raw video, identify the video format: they set either MP_FOURCC_RAWVIDEO or MP_FOURCC_IMGFMT to request the rawvideo decoder, and sh_video->imgfmt specifies the pixel format. Like the previous hack, this is supposed to avoid the need for a complete codecs.cfg entry per format, or other lookup tables. (Note that the RGB raw video FourCCs mostly rely on ffmpeg's mappings for NUT raw video, but this is still considered better than adding a raw video decoder - even if trivial, it would be full of annoying lookup tables.) The TV code has not been tested. Some corrective changes regarding endian and other image format flags creep in.
* video/filter: change filter API, use refcounting, remove filter DRwm42013-01-131-4/+1
| | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | Change the entire filter API to use reference counted images instead of vf_get_image(). Remove filter "direct rendering". This was useful for vf_expand and (in rare cases) vf_sub: DR allowed these filters to pass a cropped image to the filters before them. Then, on filtering, the image was "uncropped", so that black bars could be added around the image without copying. This means that in some cases, vf_expand will be slower (-vf gradfun,expand for example). Note that another form of DR used for in-place filters has been replaced by simpler logic. Instead of trying to do DR, filters can check if the image is writeable (with mp_image_is_writeable()), and do true in-place if that's the case. This affects filters like vf_gradfun and vf_sub. Everything has to support strides now. If something doesn't, making a copy of the image data is required.
* vd_lavc: use refcountingwm42013-01-131-2/+5
| | | | | | | | | | | | | Note that if the codec doesn't support DR1, the image has to be copied. There is no other way to guarantee that the image will be valid after decoding the next image. The only important codec that doesn't support DR1 yet is rawvideo. It's likely that ffmpeg/Libav will fix this at some time. For now, this decoder uses an evil hack and puts pointers to the packet data into the returned frame. This means the image will actually get invalid as soon as the corresponding video packet is free'd, so copying the image is the only reasonable thing anyway.
* vd_lavc: add DR1 supportwm42013-01-131-0/+41
Replace libavcodec's native buffer allocation with code taken from ffplay/ffmpeg's libavfilter support. The code in lavc_dr1.c is directly copied from cmdutils.c. Note that this is quite arcane code, which contains some workarounds for decoder bugs and the like. This is not really a maintainance burden, since fixes from ffmpeg can be directly applied to the code in lavc_dr1.c. It's unknown why libavcodec doesn't provide such a function directly. avcodec_default_get_buffer() can't be reused for various reasons. There's some hope that the work known as The Evil Plan [1] will make custom get_buffer implementations unneeded. The DR1 support as of this commit does nothing. A future commit will use it to implement ref-counting for mp_image (similar to how AVFrame will be ref-counted with The Evil Plan.)
