[FFmpeg-devel] [PATCH 1/2] avformat/dashdec: Ensure strings are zero-terminated

strncpy only ensures that one does not write beyond the end of the
destination buffer; in case of truncation it does not zero-terminate
the destination buffer. This makes using it the way it is now in the
DASH demuxer dangerous. So use av_strlcpy instead.

Also don't write anything if there is no id: The buffer has already been
zeroed initially.

The DASH testset from the Universität Klagenfurt contains samples with
ids that are too long. E.g.
