[FFmpeg-devel] [PATCH] Treat FLV packets with AVCPacketType zero as extradata

[Amarghosh Vadakkoot]

When type zero avc packets are returned as normal video packets, the caller
attempts to parse them as NAL unit and fails. If they are treated as
extra_data and returned in the side_data of next packet, the caller can
easily differentiate between avcC data and NAL units. Apparently this is
currently achieved using a heuristic approach in decode_frame function in
libavformat/h264.c
