[FFmpeg-devel] [PATCH]lavf/mxfdec: Allow MXF parser to identify the Canon XF-HEVC codec/format for video essence

[Matthew McKenna]

Hello ffmpeg-devel:

Attached is a patch to allow the MXF parser to identify the Canon 
XF-HEVC codec for video essence.

This codec/containerization is found in the Canon XF-705 camera that 
Canon released in 2018.  The camera can encode video using HEVC at 
either a 110 or 160 Mbps bitrate, and the video is 3840x2160, YCC 4:2:2 
at 10-bit depth (at a variety of choosable framerates).

At the moment there is little information published about the 
containerization of the video, and I am not aware of it being a SMPTE 
standard or otherwise.  However, by identifying the video as 
AV_CODEC_ID_HEVC by way of its universal label (UL), ffmpeg can make use 
of the video.  Bitrate, resolution, color space, framerate, and bit 
depth all seem to be correctly identified.

Sample MXF files, as well as their successful conversion thru a patched 
ffmpeg, are available at

Thanks.
