[FFmpeg-devel] [PATCH] avcodec/put_bits: Add PUTBIT_FLAG_ONLY_LENGTH

[Michael Niedermayer]

This allows skipping computationally expensive writing code in the first pass of 2
pass encoding.
Its equivalent to AVCodecContexts CODEC_FLAG2_NO_OUTPUT but by putting it in
PutBitContext it becomes available without the need to keep a pointer to
AVCodecContext or some other context around
