Hello,

We have recently circulated this new version (see below) of our patch for integrating our HEVC Turing codec with FFmpeg. Assuming that there are no more requests for changes, we would like to understand what is the timeline for integration within the project.

Thanks a lot,

All the best,

Subject: [PATCH v9] - Added Turing codec interface for ffmpeg

- This patch contains the changes to interface the Turing codec (http://turingcodec.org/) with ffmpeg. The patch was modified to address the comments in the review as follows:
  - Added a pkg-config file to list all dependencies required by libturing. This should address the issue pointed out by Hendrik Leppkes on Fri 18/11/2016
  - As per suggestions of wm4, two functions (add_option and finalise_options) have been created. The former appends new options while the latter sets up the argv array of pointers to char* accordingly. add_option re-allocates the buffer for options using av_realloc
  - Additionally, both these functions handle the errors in case the memory wasn't allocated correctly
  - malloc|free|realloc have been substituted with their corresponding av_{malloc|free|realloc} version
  - Check on bit-depth has been removed since the ffmpeg already casts the right pix_fmt and bit depth
  - pix_fmts is now set in ff_libturing_encoder as in h264dec.c.
  - Changed usage of av_free with av_freep and fixed calls to free arrays
  - Added brackets to all if and for statements
  - Avoid repetition of code to free arrays in case of failure to initialise the libturing encoder
  - Some fixes to address the review from wm4 and Mark Thompson received on Wed 08/02/2017
  - Fixed indentation
