WebPAnimEncoder API is a combination of encoder (WebPEncoder) and muxer
(WebPMux). It performs several optimizations to make it more efficient
than the combination of WebPEncode() and native ffmpeg muxer.
When WebPAnimEncoder API is used:
- In the encoder layer: we use WebPAnimEncoderAdd() instead of
WebPEncode().
- The muxer layer: works like a raw muxer.
On the other hand, when WebPAnimEncoder API isn't available, the old code is
used as it is:
- In the codec layer: WebPEncode is used to encode each frame
- In the muxer layer: ffmpeg muxer is used

This is useful for client programs to ask for nv12 surfaces instead of the
current default (uyvy), since those are more efficient to decode to.

Compared to existing, common opensource H264 encoders, this can be
useful since it has got a different license (BSD instead of GPL).
Performance- and qualitywise it is comparable to x264 in ultrafast
mode.
Hooking it up as an encoder in libavcodec also simplifies comparing
it against other common encoders.
This requires OpenH264 1.3 or newer. Since the OpenH264 API and ABI
changes frequently, only releases are supported.
To take advantage of the OpenH264 patent offer, the OpenH264 library
must not be redistributed, but downloaded at runtime at the end-user's
system.

Since the VDPAU pixel format does not distinguish between different
VDPAU video surface chroma types, we need another way to pass this
data to the application.
Originally VDPAU in libavcodec only supported decoding to 8-bits YUV
with 4:2:0 chroma sampling. Correspondingly, applications assumed that
libavcodec expected VDP_CHROMA_TYPE_420 video surfaces for output.
However some of the new HEVC profiles proposed for addition to VDPAU
would require different depth and/or sampling:

...as would lossless AVC profiles:

To preserve backward binary compatibility with existing applications,
a new av_vdpau_bind_context() flag is introduced in a further change.

This can be used by the application to signal its ability to cope with
video surface of types other than 8-bits YUV 4:2:0.

This carries the pixel format that would be used if it were not for
hardware acceleration. This is equal to AVCodecContext.pix_fmt if
hardware acceleration is not in use.

previously quality could only be set through qscale/global_quality but the scale
was inverted. Using a separate option avoids the confusion from qscale working
backward.
