[FFmpeg-devel] [PATCH 1/5] avcodec/avcodec: Don't suggest calling deprecated avcodec_register_all()

[Andreas Rheinhardt]

Despite avcodec_register and avcodec_register_all being deprecated,
their documentation still said that one of them has to be called
before doing anything else. Clarify this confusing situation.

Furthermore, don't use avcodec_register_all in sample code for
a non-deprecated function.
