yes iam really just asking for ff_query_hwaccel_codec to be split not
any large change ...

yes that sounds correct

iam just thinking that the ideal hw pix_fmt would not depend on the codec
i mean the pix_fmt specifies what data there is in the "picture" and that
is some values taken from the headers + the undecoded slices / frame
the structs used for this dont have to differ between codecs, especially
not between h263/mpeg1/2/4, these are similar enough so a single one
should be able to handle all. Surely with a few unused fields here and
there but no totally different pix_fmt ...

if its a true bijection then one would be redundant and should be removed
:)
