[FFmpeg-devel] [PATCH 00/15] Matroska muxer patches

[Andreas Rheinhardt]

Hello,

this patchset is mostly concerned with reducing the unnecessary overhead
of the Matroska muxer; this overhead mostly comes from not using the
minimal amount of bytes when writing the length field of master
elements. The length fields of most level 1 elements are currently
written on eight bytes; after this patchset, they are always written
with the minimal amount of bytes.

Currently, writing level 1 elements always uses dynamic buffers
(regardless of whether one is in seekable or non-seekable mode), but
strangely, there are nevertheless two different codepaths for writing
for the seekable and the non-seekable modes. These have been unified; as
a consequence, CRC-32 elements are now also written in
non-seekable/live-mode.

Given that this patchset changes the output, I had to update some fate
tests. This is the first time I did this, so I hope I did everything
right. But doublechecking wouldn't hurt.
