 From avcodec.h:

     /**
      * prediction method (needed for huffyuv)
      * - encoding: Set by user.
      * - decoding: unused
      */
      int prediction_method;
#define FF_PRED_LEFT   0
#define FF_PRED_PLANE  1
#define FF_PRED_MEDIAN 2

     /**
      * amount of previous MV predictors (2a+1 x 2a+1 square)
      * - encoding: Set by user.
      * - decoding: unused
      */
     int last_predictor_count;

IIRC I took the *whole* AVCodecContext struct from avcodec.h and made 
parameters from all the members. I wanted to do this madness only once, 
so I didn't decide, which are used and which are not.

So if there are unused parameters, leave them as they are and don't 
bother to translate them. The help strings are mostly from the mencoder 
manpage. Either I screwed something up while doing Copy&Paste, or the 
original text was meaningless :)
