[FFmpeg-devel] [PATCH] avformat/movenc: forbid muxing AV1 streams until the spec is finished

[James Almer]

This prevents creating potentially broken files, as both the AV1 and
the AV1 in ISOMBFF specs are unfinished.

This is mainly so it's effective in ffmpeg 4.0, the first version to
support libaom (including pre-bitstream freeze builds). Best to
prevent muxing files that may not work anymore a few months from now.
