I went through all codecs and put them into five basic categories:
1. JPEG range only
2. MPEG range only
3. Explicitly tagged
4. Broken (codec supports both but encoder ignores tags)
5. N/A (headerless or pseudo-formats)
Filters in category 5 remain untouched. The rest gain an explicit
assignment of their supported color ranges, with codecs in category
4 being set to MPEG-only for safety.
It might be considered redundant to distinguish between 0 (category 5)
and MPEG+JPEG (category 3), but in doing so we effectively communicate
that we can guarantee that these tags will be encoded, which is distinct
from the situation where there are some codecs that simply don't have
tagging or implied semantics (e.g. rawvideo).
A full list of codecs follows:
JPEG range only:
- amv
- roqvideo
MPEG range only:
- asv1, asv2
- avui
- cfhd
- cljr
- dnxhd
- dvvideo
- ffv1
- flv
- h261, h263, h263p

- mpeg2_qsv
- mpeg2_vaapi
- mpeg4, msmpeg4, msmpeg4v2, wmv1, wmv2
- mpeg4_omx
- prores, prores_aw, prores_ks
- rv10, rv20
- snow
- speedhq
- svq1
- tiff
- utvideo
Explicitly tagged (MPEG/JPEG):
- {av1,h264,hevc}_nvenc
- {av1,h264,hevc}_vaapi
- {av1,h264,hevc,vp8,vp9,mpeg4}_mediacodec
- {av1,h264,hevc,vp9}_qsv
- h264_amf
- {h264,hevc,prores}_videotoolbox
- libaom-av1
- libkvazaar
- libopenh264
- librav1e
- libsvtav1
- libvpx, libvpx-vp9
- libx264
- libx265
- ljpeg
- mjpeg
- vc2
Broken (encoder ignores tags):
- {av1,hevc}_amf
- {h264,hevc,mpeg4}_v4l2m2m
- h264_omx
- libxeve
- magicyuv
- {vp8,vp9,mjpeg}_vaapi
N/A:
- ayuv, yuv4, y41p, v308, v210, v410, v408 (headerless)
- pgmyuv (headerless)
- rawvideo, bitpacked (headerless)
- vnull, wrapped_avframe (pseudocodecs)
Makes it robust against adding fields before it, which will be useful in
following commits.

with some manual changes, as the script:
* has trouble with options defined inside macros
* sometimes does not handle options under an #else branch
* sometimes swallows whitespace
Unnecessary since acf63d5350adeae551d412db699f8ca03f7e76b9;

Hyper Encode uses Intel integrated and discrete graphics on one system
to accelerate encoding of a single video stream.
Depending on the selected parameters and codecs, performance gain on AlderLake iGPU + ARC Gfx up to 1.6x.
More information: https://www.intel.co.uk/content/www/uk/en/architecture-and-technology/adaptix/deep-link.html
Developer guide: https://github.com/oneapi-src/oneVPL-intel-gpu/blob/main/doc/HyperEncode_FeatureDeveloperGuide.md
Hyper Encode is supported only on Windows and requires D3D11 and oneVPL.
To enable Hyper Encode need to specify:
-Hyper Encode mode (-dual_gfx on or dual_gfx adaptive)
-Encoder: h264_qsv or hevc_qsv
-BRC: VBR, CQP or ICQ
-Lowpower mode (-low_power 1)
-Closed GOP for AVC or strict GOP for HEVC -idr_interval = 0 used by default
Depending on the encoding parameters, the following parameters may need
to be adjusted:
-g recommended >= 30 for better performance
-async_depth recommended >= 30 for better performance
-extra_hw_frames recommended equal to async_depth value
-bf recommended = 0 for better performance
In the cases with fast encoding (-preset veryfast) there may be no
performance gain due to the fact that the decode is slower than the encode.
Command line examples:
ffmpeg.exe -init_hw_device qsv:hw,child_device_type=d3d11va,child_device=0 -v verbose -y -hwaccel qsv -extra_hw_frames 60 -async_depth 60 -c:v h264_qsv -i bbb_sunflower_2160p_60fps_normal.mp4
-async_depth 60 -c:v h264_qsv -preset medium -g 60 -low_power 1 -bf 0 -dual_gfx on output.h265

Add skip_frame support to qsvenc. Use per-frame metadata
"qsv_skip_frame" to control it. skip_frame option defines the behavior
of qsv_skip_frame.
no_skip: Frame skipping is disabled.
insert_dummy: Encoder inserts into bitstream frame where all macroblocks
are encoded as skipped.
insert_nothing: Similar to insert_dummy, but encoder inserts nothing.
The skipped frames are still used in brc. For example, gop still include
skipped frames, and the frames after skipped frames will be larger in
size.
brc_only: skip_frame metadata indicates the number of missed frames
before the current frame.

Currently AVBR is disabled and VBR is the default method if maxrate is
not specified on Linux, but AVBR is the default one if maxrate is not
specified on Windows. In order to make user experience better accross
Linux and Windows, use VBR by default on Windows if maxrate is not
specified. User need to set both avbr_accuracy and avbr_convergence to
non-zero explicitly and not to specify maxrate if AVBR is expected.
In addition, AVBR works for H264 and HEVC only in the SDK.

If qsv hwdevice is available, use the mfxLoader handle in qsv hwdevice
to create mfx session. Otherwise create mfx session with a new mfxLoader
handle.
This is in preparation for oneVPL support
The following Cflags has been added to libmfx.pc, so mfx/ prefix is no
longer needed when including mfx headers in FFmpeg.
Cflags: -I${includedir} -I${includedir}/mfx
Some old versions of libmfx have the following Cflags in libmfx.pc
Cflags: -I${includedir}
We may add -I${includedir}/mfx to CFLAGS when running 'configure
--enable-libmfx' for old versions of libmfx, if so, mfx headers without
mfx/ prefix can be included too.
If libmfx comes without pkg-config support, we may do a small change to
the settings of the environment(e.g. set -I/opt/intel/mediasdk/include/mfx
instead of -I/opt/intel/mediasdk/include to CFLAGS), then the build can
find the mfx headers without mfx/ prefix
After applying this change, we won't need to change #include for mfx
headers when mfx headers are installed under a new directory.
This is in preparation for oneVPL support (mfx headers in oneVPL are
installed under vpl directory)
This is in preparation of switching the default init-thread-safety
to a codec being init-thread-safe.

of options (QSV_COMMON_OPTS) while bunch of options is not

supportes everything is avc, followed by hevc, while vp9 and

This is possible, because every given FFCodec has to implement
exactly one of these. Doing so decreases sizeof(FFCodec) and
therefore decreases the size of the binary.
Notice that in case of position-independent code the decrease
is in .data.rel.ro, so that this translates to decreased
memory consumption.

Up until now, codec.h contains both public and private parts
of AVCodec. This exposes the internals of AVCodec to users
and leads them into the temptation of actually using them
and forces us to forward-declare structures and types that
users can't use at all.
This commit changes this by adding a new structure FFCodec to
codec_internal.h that extends AVCodec, i.e. contains the public
AVCodec as first member; the private fields of AVCodec are moved
to this structure, leaving codec.h clean.

There are many problems of current qsv trellis option:
1. Duplicated with AVCodecContext definition
2. MFX_TRELLIS_XXX is introduced by MSDK API 1.17
Currently Without MSDK API checking thus may cause compilation issue.
3. user is inclined to enable trellis when set "-trellis 1", but
actually it is to disable since MFX_TRELLIS_OFF is equal to 1.
4. It is too complex for user to enable trellis for every frame(I/P/B).
Just simply remove the private option, and switch to the AVCodecContext
definition. Compatibility should not a big problem (except can't exact map)
since the option name is same as AVCodecContext.

Explicitly identify decoder/encoder wrappers with a common name. This
saves API users from guessing by the name suffix. For example, they
don't have to guess that "h264_qsv" is the h264 QSV implementation, and
instead they can just check the AVCodec .codec and .wrapper_name fields.
Explicitly mark AVCodec entries that are hardware decoders or most

concerned with decoder configuration, not information about the fact
