[FFmpeg-devel] [PATCH] libsvt_av1: remove forced-idr option

[Lynne]

This option is directly copy-pasted from the SVT1-HEVC wrapper and has 
no place in the options for an AV1 encoder.

AV1 has no H.264/5 IDR frames nor anything like them.
All this option does is change all real keyframes to an intra-only
AV1 frame, which is not seekable. Hence, any streams encoded with
this option enabled will not be seekable.

Having an option that breaks encoded streams this much is not what
we'd like. If SVT-AV1 developers would like to have an open-gop
option a patch to enable that could be added with an appropriate
name and after a discussion, rather than slipping through reviews.
