[FFmpeg-devel] [PATCH] libavcodec/qsvenc: Use parameter from AVCodecContext to reset qsv codec

[Chen, Wenbin]

> Using parameter from AVCodecContext to reset qsv codec is more suitable
> for MFXVideoENCODE_Reset()'s usage. Per-frame metadata is more suitable
> for the usage of mfxEncodeCtrl being passed to
> MFXVideoENCODE_EncodeFrameAsync(). Now change it to use the value
> from AVCodecContext.

"const AVFrame *frame" is not used. It can be removed.

"q->param" is passed to both "in" and "out" parameters in MFXVideoENCODE_Query() call,
so the value in q->param may be changed. There is a potential issue that codec will reset on
every frame.

I will fix these in my patch v2.
