[FFmpeg-devel] [PATCH 18/20] avformat/matroskaenc: Don't needlessly copy AVCodecParameters

[Andreas Rheinhardt]

At the end of encoding, the FLAC encoder sends a packet whose side data
contains updated extradata (e.g. a correct md5 checksum). The Matroska
muxer uses this to update the CodecPrivate.

In doing so, the stream's codecpar was copied. But given that writing
a FLAC CodecPrivate does not modify the used AVCodecParameters at all,
there is no need to do so and this commit changes this.
