[FFmpeg-devel] [PATCH 03/10] libavcodec/ccaption_dec: add calculate_duration option

The new "calculate_duration" option in this patch defaults to true, to
preserve the existing behavior. You can set it to false to get the new
realtime behavior. This seems a little backwards, so if someone has a
better name for this new behavior I'd be interested to hear it. Maybe the
option can be called "realtime" and default to false?

Here's an example of the old and new optional behavior:

$ ffmpeg -y -nostats -f lavfi -i 'movie=input.ts[out0+subcc]' -map s -f ass
