[FFmpeg-devel] [PATCH 2/2] avformat/dashenc: Added a warning for incorrect segment name extension

[Karthick J]

From: Karthick Jeyapal <kjeyapal at akamai.com>

Applicable only to webm output format.
By default all the segment filenames end with .m4s extension.
When someone chooses webm output format, we recommend they also override the relevant segment name options to end with .webm extension. This patch will issue a warning for he same.
