[FFmpeg-devel] [PATCH v2] mpegvideo_parser: check picture_structure for field order

[Tom Yan]

This is really just a matter of choice. If you don't care about
spec-conformance in this particular case, top_field_first *could* be 1
and/or picture_structure *could* be not 3 even when
progressive_sequence is 1, so which one do you choose to believe? The
truth is, it doesn't even matter.

If you insist on making it more clumsy and silly, I can resend.
