[Libquicktime-devel] My last patch broke things

[Joseph A. <jo...@mi...>]

Hi,

So, my last patch was replacing:
avcodec_alloc_context3(NULL);
with:
avcodec_alloc_context3(encoder ? encoder : decoder);

I assumed either encoder or decoder would be set but not both. Now it 
turns out both are usually set, and are different ones. What's worse, 
passing a wrong one can cause memory corruption. The test case is 
decoding XDCAM and passing the encoder instead of the decoder.

Now the problem is I couldn't find a way to figure out whether we are 
encoding or decoding.
Burkhard, can you take a look?
