[FFmpeg-devel] [PATCH 0/3] Detect field_order when probing MP4/H264

[Nicolas Gaullier]

My use case is a typical ffprobe+ffmpeg scenario where there are many MP4/H264 progressive materials.
I just want to avoid inserting a deinterlacing filter if it is not required.

NOTE: many MP4 files don't have a 'fiel' box. I may be missing sth, but in my information,
this is actually a quicktime atom, not an iso box...
And looking at movenc.c, the writing of 'fiel' is conditionnal on the codec_id and disabled for H264.
At the end, H264 extradata are not very rich, so parsing is required to get field_order.

Patch 1/3 and 2/3 are improvements required to avoid regressions when applying patch 3/3.

Seems to close definitely ticket #7157 whose current status is 'closed defect (needs_more_info)'

Nicolas Gaullier (3):
  avcodec/h264_parser: Set AVCodecContext.framerate
  avformat/utils: Use r_frame_rate in compute_frame_duration if codec_framerate is unknown
  avformat/mov: Set AVSTREAM_PARSE_HEADERS flag for H264
