Encoding init code will currently fall back to a 25fps default when no
framerate is known or specified, but only if there is a known source
input stream. There is no good reason for this condition, so drop it.
Frame limiting is now handled using sync queues. This code prevents the
sync queue from triggering EOF, resulting in unnecessarily many frames
being decoded, filtered, and then discarded.

The current adjustment of input start times just adjusts the tsoffset.
And it does so, by resetting the tsoffset to nullify the new start time.
This leads to breakage of -copyts, ignoring of input_ts_offset, breaking
of -isync as well as breaking wrap correction.
Fixed by taking cognizance of these parameters, and by correcting start times
just before sync offsets are applied.
Now that we have proper options for defining display matrix
overrides, this should no longer be required.
fftools does not have its own versioning, so for now the define is
just set to 1 and disables the functionality if set to zero.
Replace it with an array of streams in each OutputFile. This is a more
accurate reflection of the actual relationship between OutputStream and
OutputFile. This is easier to handle and will allow further
simplifications in future commits.
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
update_video_stats() currently uses OutputStream.data_size to print the
total size of the encoded stream so far and the average bitrate.
However, that field is updated in the muxer thread, right before the
packet is sent to the muxer. Not only is this racy, but the numbers may
not match even if muxing was in the main thread due to bitstream
filters, filesize limiting, etc.
Introduce a new counter, data_size_enc, for total size of the packets
received from the encoder and use that in update_video_stats(). Rename
data_size to data_size_mux to indicate its semantics more clearly.
No synchronization is needed for data_size_mux, because it is only read
in the main thread in print_final_stats(), which runs after the muxer
threads are terminated.
It is either equal to OutputStream.enc_ctx->codec, or NULL when enc_ctx
is NULL. Replace the use of enc with enc_ctx->codec, or the equivalent
enc_ctx->codec_* fields where more convenient.
It races with the demuxing thread. Instead, send the information along
with the demuxed packets.
Ideally, the code should stop using the stream-internal parsing
completely, but that requires considerably more effort.
Fixes races, e.g. in:
- fate-h264-brokensps-2580
- fate-h264-extradata-reload
- fate-iv8-demux
- fate-m4v-cfr
- fate-m4v
Use it instead of AVStream.codecpar in the main thread. While
AVStream.codecpar is documented to only be updated when the stream is
added or avformat_find_stream_info(), it is actually updated during
demuxing. Accessing it from a different thread then constitutes a race.
Ideally, some mechanism should eventually be provided for signalling
parameter updates to the user. Then the demuxing thread could pick up
the changes and propagate them to the decoder.
Discontinuity detection/correction is left in the main thread, as it is
entangled with InputStream.next_dts and related variables, which may be
set by decoding code.
Fixes races e.g. in fate-ffmpeg-streamloop after
aae9de0cb2.
This will allow to move normal offset handling to demuxer thread, since
discontinuities currently have to be processed in the main thread, as
the code uses some decoder-produced values.
InputFile.ts_offset can change during transcoding, due to discontinuity
correction. This should not affect the streamcopy starting timestamp.

-stream_loop is currently handled by destroying the demuxer thread,
seeking, then recreating it anew. This is very messy and conflicts with
the future goal of moving each major ffmpeg component into its own
thread.
Handle -stream_loop directly in the demuxer thread. Looping requires the
demuxer to know the duration of the file, which takes into account the
duration of the last decoded audio frame (if any). Use a thread message
queue to communicate this information from the main thread to the
demuxer thread.
This avoids a potential race with the demuxer adding new streams. It is
also more efficient, since we no longer do inter-thread transfers of
packets that will be just discarded.
This undocumented feature runtime-enables dumping input packets. I can
think of no reasonable real-world use case that cannot also be
accomplished in a different way. Keeping this functionality would
interfere with the following commit moving it to the input thread (then
setting the variable would require locking or atomics, which would be
unnecessarily complicated for a feature that probably nobody uses).
