[FFmpeg-devel] [PATCH] lavc/libx265: flag as experimental

[Anton Khirnov]

This encoder leaks and overreads, as can be seen e.g. by running an
encode under valgrind with default encoder parameters. This was known
upstream since at least 2019 (e.g. bitbucket issue #482) but never fixed
until now.

Since upstream does not seem to practice basic code hygiene, make sure
people do not use this encoder without knowing what they are getting
into.
