The {br}/{abr} directives are not limited to post-encoding, they can
also be used pre-muxing. The already-present {packet} tag describes this
more accurately, so just drop the assertions.
Always use the functionality of the latter, which makes more sense as it
avoids losing keyframes due to vsync code dropping frames.
Deprecate the 'source_no_drop' value, as it is now redundant.
It is badly named (should have been -top_field_first, or at least -tff),
underdocumented and underspecified, and (most importantly) entirely
redundant with the setfield filter.
Stop claiming the argument is always a floating point number, which
* confuses floating point and decimal numbers
* is not always true even accounting for the above point
Read the timebase from FrameData rather than the input stream. This
should fix#10393 and generally be more reliable.
Replace the use of '-1' to indicate demuxing timebase with the string
'demux'. Also allow to request filter timebase with
'-enc_time_base filter'.
This option adds a long string of numbers to the progress line, where
i-th number contains the base-2 logarithm of the number of times a frame
with this QP value was seen by print_report().
There are multiple problems with this feature:
* despite this existing since 2005, web search shows no indication
that it was ever useful for any meaningful purpose;
* the format of what is printed is entirely undocumented, one has to
find it out from the source code;
* QP values above 31 are silently ignored;
* it only works with one video stream;
* as it relies on global state, it is in conflict with ongoing
architectural changes.
It then seems that the nontrivial cost of maintaining this option is not
worth its negligible (or possibly negative - since it pollutes the
already large option space) value.
Users who really need similar functionality can also implement it
themselves using -vstats.
In particular, add a sentence to introduce the example, and add a
simpler starting example with no options.
Also use different format for input.avi and output.mp4, to convey
that the conversion also works on the container format.

Reference drawtext textfile option and ffmpeg -filter_complex_script
and -filter_script as possible solutions to avoid shell escaping.

Analogous to -enc_stats*, but happens right before muxing. Useful
because bitstream filters and the sync queue can modify packets after
encoding and before muxing. Also has access to the muxing timebase.
Splits the currently handled subtitle at random access point
packets that can be configured to follow a specific output stream.
Currently only subtitle streams which are directly mapped into the
same output in which the heartbeat stream resides are affected.
This way the subtitle - which is known to be shown at this time
can be split and passed to muxer before its full duration is
yet known. This is also a drawback, as this essentially outputs
multiple subtitles from a single input subtitle that continues
over multiple random access points. Thus this feature should not
be utilized in cases where subtitle output latency does not matter.

This enables overriding the rotation as well as horizontal/vertical
flip state of a specific video stream on the input side.
Additionally, switch the singular test that was utilizing the rotation
metadata to instead override the input display rotation, thus leading
to the same result.
It has been deprecated in favor of the aresample filter for almost 10
years.
Another thing this option can do is drop audio timestamps and have them
generated by the encoding code or the muxer, but
- for encoding, this can already be done with the setpts filter
- for muxing this should almost never be done as timestamp generation by
the muxer is deprecated, but people who really want to do this can use
the setts bitstream filter
