The rational for this is another issue that plex has exposed. When it is
conducting a transcode of video to HLS for streaming, my father noticed
artifacts when played on his GoogleTV (NSZ-GT1). He sent me a test file
and I reproduced it on my device of the same model. It is important to
note that the artifacts were not present when streaming to VLC or QuickTime
Player. I copied the command-line that plex used, and conducted all of the
following tests using FFmpeg git.
Transcode to HLS: artifacts on playback
Transcode to TS: playback is fine
Cat HLS segments into a single TS: playback is fine
Segment single TS file to segments: artifacts on playback
Segment single TS file to segments using Apple's HLS segmenter: playback is
fine
At this point I carefully examined the differences between Apple's HLS
segmenter output and FFmpeg's. Among the considerable differences, I
noticed that the video PES packets always had a 0 length. So I continued:
Transcode to HLS using FFmpeg with 0 length PES packets: playback is fine.
Segment single TS to segments with 0 length PES packets: playback is fine.
All failures mentioned are only on the GTV since it is the only player on
which I could reproduce artifacts. I only tested the GTV, VLC, and
QuickTime Player though, so my test case is limited. I do not know if
other players exhibit this issue.
Since it was useful last time, I have uploaded the test file as
hls_pes_packet_length.m4v along with its associated txt file which contains
the transcode command-line that was used.

Improves compatibility with XDCAM HD formats. It has been set for a long time

The bug it was working seems to have been fixed.
This change causes ffmpeg to use the trim filter to implement
the -t option.
FATE tests are updated due to the more accurate handling of
the last packets.
This makes -t sample-accurate for audio and will allow further
simplication in the future.
Most of the FATE changes are due to audio now being sample accurate. In
some cases a video frame was incorrectly passed with the old code, while
its was over the limit.
Most formats do not support negative timestamps, shift them to avoid
unexpected behaviour and a number of bad crashes.

Some of the FATE changes are due to off-by-one different rounding being used
(lrintf vs av_rescale_q).
Some fate changes are due to 1 audio frame less being encoded (the new variant seems
matching what qatar does and according to ffprobe its closer to the requested duration)
the mapchan feature sadly is lost in this commit because it depends on resampling
being done in ffmpeg.c which is now moved completely into the av filter layer
-async is broken after this commit, this will be fixed in subsequent commits
the new filter reconfiguration system is flawed and will drop a frame on each
parameter change which is why the nelly moser checksums need updating.

This is so that TS fragments produced by
http://code.google.com/p/httpsegmenter/
would be compatible with JW Player.
A new member variable prev_payload_key was added to MpegTSWriteStream
to help detect transition from non-key to key frame, so that
PAT/PMT would not be produced for every keyframe in intra-only videos.

Current code compares the desired recording time with InputStream.pts,
which has a very unclear meaning. Change the code to use actual
timestamps of the frames passed to the encoder.
In several tests, one less frame is encoded, which is more correct.
In the idroq test one more frame is encoded, which is again more
correct.
Behavior with stream copy should be unchanged.
The reserved bits between PCR base and extension fields must be
set to 1.

(cherry picked from commit 535638b55f)
With this change, the output is checked immediately after each test
has run. This means commands like "make regtest-mpeg2" can now be
used to run a single test and get meaningful results.
By default, make will abort if any test fails. To run all tests
regardless, use make -k.
