[FFmpeg-devel] [PATCH 6/9] fftools/ffmpeg: stop using AVStream.nb_frames in do_video_stats()

[Anton Khirnov]

Its use for muxing is not documented, in practice it is incremented per
each packet successfully passed to the muxer's write_packet(). Since
there is a lot of indirection between ffmpeg receiving a packet from the
encoder and it actually being written (e.g. bitstream filters, the
interleaving queue), using nb_frames here is incorrect.

Add a new counter for packets received from encoder instead.
