	Is there any MPlayer developer interested in porting this
ffmpeg blu-ray subtitle support to MPlayer?

I agreed with the idea, but did not understand the implementation,
however after a little poking around in the code, I think I have worked
it out.

My question was: The 'size' variable I have to pass av_fast_malloc, is
this the previous utilised size of buffer (subtitles width * height), or
is this the maximum size of the allocated memory (for all occurrences in
the past since I initialise the decoder)? And do I have to update the
'size' variable myself?

However the answer seems to be:
Add a variable to the context to keep track of the size of buffer and
initialise to 0:

unsigned int bitmap_size;

bitmap_size = 0;

Then when allocating just call:
av_fast_malloc(&ctx->picture->bitmap, &ctx->picture->bitmap_size, width
* height);

and it will update the bitmap_size variable with the actual size of the
buffer which is always equal or exceeding width * height, unless it
fails:

if (!ctx->picture->bitmap)
    return AVERROR(ENOMEM);


Is this summary correct?
(Patch attached with these changes, also cosmetics changes to mpegts.c
after subtitle patch applied [no change to previous cosmetics])

Sorry for the slight confusion.

Thanks,
Stephen.
