[Libav-user] Create a muxer without enc_ctx = out_stream->codec

Yea, I commented it out, but same result.
I did noticed that even though I got rid of the deprecated compile warnings, it still outputs to the log:

Output #0, mp4, to 'enc.mp4':
     Stream #0:0: Unknown: none (h264_nvenc) ([33][0][0][0] / 0x0021)
av_dump_format enc.mp4
[mp4 @ 0xfd5d60] Using AVStream.codec to pass codec parameters to muxers is deprecated, use AVStream.codecpar instead.
[mp4 @ 0xfd5d60] dimensions not set
ERROR:avformat_write_header::

Since the log is mp4 the problem is in the output context, right?

Arn't these the dimensions it wants: I have added it before and after the avcodec_parameters_to_context call

    av_encode_codec_ctx->width       = 1024;   /// \note multiple of 2
    av_encode_codec_ctx->height      = 768;   /// \note multiple of 2

I also assumed I don't need the AVFrame yet since I did not see a dependency to get the output stream started.

Thanks
