This decoder can decode all existing SpeedHQ formats (SHQ0–5, 7, and 9),
including correct decoding of the alpha channel.
1080p is decoded in 142 fps on one core of my i7-4600U (2.1 GHz Haswell),
about evenly split between bitstream reader and IDCT. There is currently
no attempt at slice or frame threading, even though the format trivially
supports both.
NewTek very helpfully provided a full set of SHQ samples, as well as
source code for an SHQ2 encoder (not included) and assistance with
understanding some details of the format.
Decode the Image Data Section (which contains merged pictures).
Support RGB/A and Grayscale/A in 8bits and 16 bits per channel.
Support uncompress and rle decompression in Image Data Section.

There is really no need for two aac wrappers, we already have
libfdk-aac which is better. Not to mention that faac doesn't
even support HEv1, or HEv2. It's also under a license which is
unusable for distribution, so it would only be useful to people
who will compile their own ffmpeg, only use it themselves (which
at that point should just use fdk-aac).

* Multichannel support for TrueHD is experimental
There should be downmix substreams present for 2+ channel bitstreams,
but ffmpeg decoder doesn't need it. Will add support for this soon.
* There might be lossless check failures on LFE channels
* 32-bit sample support has been removed for now, will add it later
While testing, some samples gave lossless check failures when enforcing
s32. Probably this will also get solved with the LFE issues.

cuvid/nvdecode also supports mpeg1, mpeg2, h.263/mpeg4-asp and mjpeg.
It should, in theory, also support wmv3 via the vc1 support, given
that vdpau supports this. However, it failed to play wmv3 samples
which vdpau played correctly, so I'm not sure what to make of it.

While it is less featureful (and slower) than the built-in H264
decoder, one could potentially want to use it to take advantage
of the cisco patent license offer.

Register mmaldec as mpeg2 decoder. Supporting mpeg2 in mmaldec is just a
matter of setting the correct MMAL_ENCODING on the input port. To ease the
addition of further supported mmal codecs a macro is introduced to generate
the decoder and decoder class structs.

Right now they are the first encoders for those codecs in the list, so
they are selected when the caller requests a codec by id.
Since they require special treatment, they should not be selected by
default if there are other encoders (e.g. libx264/5) available.
This is added in 10.11, so we add a #define when building against older SDKs.
The decoder actually supports 7.1-channel eac3, but since the parser only
reports 6 channels, we end up decoding the 5.1 downmix (same as the internal
decoder) for now.
Autodetected by default. Encode using -codec:v h264_videotoolbox.

This commit adds a new encoder capable of creating BBC/SMPTE Dirac/VC-2 HQ
profile files.
Dirac is a wavelet based codec created by the BBC a little more than 10
years ago. Since then, wavelets have mostly gone out of style as they
did not provide adequate encoding gains at lower bitrates. Dirac was a
fully featured video codec equipped with perceptual masking, support for
most popular pixel formats, interlacing, overlapped-block motion
compensation, and other features. It found new life after being stripped
of various features and standardized as the VC-2 codec by the SMPTE with
an extra profile, the HQ profile that this encoder supports, added.
The HQ profile was based off of the Low-Delay profile previously
existing in Dirac. The profile forbids DC prediction and arithmetic
coding to focus on high performance and low delay at higher bitrates.
The standard bitrates for this profile vary but generally 1:4
compression is expected (~525 Mbps vs the 2200 Mbps for uncompressed
1080p50). The codec only supports I-frames, hence the high bitrates.
The structure of this encoder is simple: do a DWT transform on the
entire image, split it into multiple slices (specified by the user) and
encode them in parallel. All of the slices are of the same size, making
rate control and threading very trivial. Although only in C, this encoder
is capable of 30 frames per second on an 4 core 8 threads Ivy Bridge.
A lookup table is used to encode most of the coefficients.
No code was used from the GSoC encoder from 2007 except for the 2
transform functions in diracenc_transforms.c. All other code was written
from scratch.
This encoder outperforms any other encoders in quality, usability and in
features. Other existing implementations do not support 4 level
transforms or 64x64 blocks (slices), which greatly increase compression.
As previously said, the codec is meant for broadcasting, hence support
for non-broadcasting image widths, heights, bit depths, aspect ratios,
etc. are limited by the "level". Although this codec supports a few
chroma subsamplings (420, 422, 444), signalling those is generally
outside the specifications of the level used (3) and the reference
decoder will outright refuse to read any image with such a flag
signalled (it only supports 1920x1080 yuv422p10). However, most
implementations will happily read files with alternate dimensions,
framerates and formats signalled.
Therefore, in order to encode files other than 1080p50 yuv422p10le, you
need to provide an "-strict -2" argument to the command line. The FFmpeg
decoder will happily read any files made with non-standard parameters,
dimensions and subsamplings, and so will other implementations. IMO this
should be "-strict -1", but I'll leave that up for discussion.
There are still plenty of stuff to implement, for instance 5 more
wavelet transforms are still in the specs and supported by the decoder.
The encoder can be lossless, given a high enough bitrate.
