[FFmpeg-devel] [RFC] mpeg4 parser do not split of sequence end code

[Reimar Döffinger]

Hello,
currently the parser ends up putting a sequence end marker at the very end
of a file into a separate packet.
As a result, the decoder then complains about not being able to find proper
frame headers.
The solutions I saw:
1) Do not care about that
2) Make the decoder ignore packets that contain only a sequence end code
3) Make the parser keep the sequence end code together with the previous
   frame if any.

This patch should implement 3):
