[FFmpeg-devel] [PATCH] avcodec/mpeg4_unpack_bframes_bsf: Improve DivX userdata check

The earlier version didn't really check that the 'p' of a "p\0" is
actually part of a user_data section, instead it treated the first
"p\0" after the start of a user_data section as end of a user_data
section if it is close enough to the beginning of the user_data section;
it actually needn't be part of a user_data section at all.

Furthermore, the code worked under the assumption that there is a 0x00
after the 'p' although this might not be true for extradata if the
user_data unit is at the end of the extradata.

Both of these flaws have been fixed.

The earlier version was inspired by the check for packed bitstreams in
decode_user_data() in mpeg4videodec.c where the "DivX" is mandatory,
too.
Note that this new version relies on there being no binary zero inside
the user data.
