Martin Storsjö 900b77b1b7 hlsenc, dashenc: Share the routine for generating a codec string
The one in dashenc was added in
fe5e6e34c0, while the one in hlsenc
was added later in 0afa171f25. Both
have had various additions on top; merge both implementations
into one shared. (Notable additions in
060e74e2a9,
1cf2f040e3,
a2b1dd0ce3 and
797f0b27c175022d896e46db4ac2873e3e0a70af.)

For H264/avc1, use the implementation from hlsenc (which doesn't
use temporary allocations). For most other codecs, use the
only implementation from whichever had one.

The original dashenc implementation tried to be generic based
on RFC 6381, looking up codec tags in ff_codec_movvideo_tags
or ff_codec_movaudio_tags, and doing specific extra additions
for "mp4a" and "mp4v". In practice, only AV_CODEC_ID_AAC
and AV_CODEC_ID_MPEG4 ever mapped to these; simplify this to
a more straightforward codec id based handling, and merge
with the AAC profile based code from hlsenc.

There's a slight behaviour difference from the old one in
dashenc; if there's no code for a specific codec ID, we previously
just output what we matched from the mov tag tables, but now
we won't output anything. But most commonly used codecs in
DASH should be covered here.

FFmpeg README

FFmpeg is a collection of libraries and tools to process multimedia content such as audio, video, subtitles and related metadata.

Libraries

  • libavcodec provides implementation of a wider range of codecs.
  • libavformat implements streaming protocols, container formats and basic I/O access.
  • libavutil includes hashers, decompressors and miscellaneous utility functions.
  • libavfilter provides means to alter decoded audio and video through a directed graph of connected filters.
  • libavdevice provides an abstraction to access capture and playback devices.
  • libswresample implements audio mixing and resampling routines.
  • libswscale implements color conversion and scaling routines.

Tools

  • ffmpeg is a command line toolbox to manipulate, convert and stream multimedia content.
  • ffplay is a minimalistic multimedia player.
  • ffprobe is a simple analysis tool to inspect multimedia content.
  • Additional small tools such as aviocat, ismindex and qt-faststart.
