[FFmpeg-devel] [PATCH v3] Patch for memory optimization with QuickTime/MP4

[Jörg Beckmann]

Hi,

I recreated the patch from a clean source tree and applied it to a clean source tree:

$ patch -p1 -i ../ffmpeg.patch
patching file libavformat/isom.h
patching file libavformat/mov.c

Hope it works now.

Cheers,
Jörg
