[FFmpeg-devel] [PATCH] libavformat: palettized QuickTime in Matroska, round 2

[Mats Peterson]

Alright, this is take two of my fix for palettized QuickTime video in 
Matroska. I have reset the lower limit of V_QUICKTIME private data to 21 
in matroskadec.c, in order to make that broken file pass, Michael. The 
minimum size of a video sample description in QuickTime is really 86, 
for the record.

Also, I've added copyright notices of the former authors of mov.c to the 
new file qtpalette.c, since the code in that file is borrowed from mov.c 
to a major extent, albeit with some modifications.

Original explanation of the patch follows:

Palettized QuickTime video in Matroska has hitherto not been recognized 
whatsoever, and the "palette" used has been completely random.

The patch for matroskadec.c fixes this issue by adding a palette side 
data packet in matroska_deliver_packet(), much in the same way as it's 
done in mov.c.

The change to mov.c consists mainly of moving the palette handling from 
the mov_parse_stsd_video() function to a new get_qtpalette() function in 
the new file qtpalette.c, which is shared by both matroskadec.c and mov.c.

In matroskadec.c, I'm also putting the palette in 'extradata', like it's 
done for V_MS/VFW/FOURCC; this is a requirement in order for MPlayer to 
recognize the palette.
