[FFmpeg-devel] [PATCH] Export video framerates and sizes abbreviations

[Stefano Sabatini]

Hi as in subject.

this is in truth more like a RFC since I would like to hear opinions
of other developers.

I wonder we could have another field inside the structs with a more
descriptive name (e.g. long_name), in this case the structs could be
named AVVideoFrameRateFormat and AVVideoFrameSizeFormat or maybe you
prefer it like in the patch or maybe you don't want such things at
all.

Rationale: it would be nice to expose abbreviations to the user, for
example in show_formats().

A theoretically better solution could be to use AVOption to define the
frame rate and frame size named constants as suggested by Michael more
than one year ago, but this doesn't seem a trivial deed since it
requires a deep rethinking of AVOption and of the API, anyway we can
get rid of AV**Abbr when we'll eventually get to accomplish that.

Kind regards.
