[Vxl-maintainers] ffmpeg: field rtp_mode should not be used

[C. V. <cri...@gm...>]

Hi!

I was compiling VXL (again) and I noticed that the files
contrib/brl/bbas/vidl2/vidl2_ffmpeg_ostream_v[1,2].txx use the field
AVCodecContext.rtp_mode, from FFmpeg. This field was deprecated for some
time, and since last year it's beem removed from the repository code. I'm
aware of the discussion about the FFmpeg continuous API changes, but the
rtp_mode field it's not even used in VXL! I did a grep on all the files, and
only those two files mention rtp_mode, and they only set its value to 1. The
field is deprecated and no file is really using it, so why keep these lines?

video_enc->rtp_mode= 1;

The downside of having them is because VXL may not compile, if the FFmpeg
version is [not so] recent.

See ya!
