Make a new GstVideoFormatinfo structure that contains the specific information
related to a format such as the number of planes, components, subsampling,
pixel stride etc. The result is that we are now able to introduce the concept of
components again in the API.
Use tables to specify the formats and its properties.
Use macros to get information about the video format description.
Move code to set strides, offsets and size into one function.
Remove methods that are not handled with the structures.
Add methods to retrieve pointers and strides to the components in the video.
Remove the GstVideoPlane structure and move the fields directly into the
GstVideoInfo structure. This makes things a little easier to read and also makes
it more likely that we can pass the stride array to external libraries.
Update docs.
Add method to get number of components.
Implement method to calculate defaults from format and dimensions.
Improve caps parsing.
Implement GstVideoInfo to caps conversion.
Add GstVideoFlags similar to the flags on the metadata. The idea is to replace
the metadata flags with the GstVideoFlags.
Move VideoPlane to video.h, it contains the information for a plane.
Add GstVideoInfo structure that holds the current configuration of a video
format.
Add methods to parse caps into GstVideoInfo.
Mark functions that have no effect besides their return value and
only inspect their input arguments with G_GNUC_CONST. (We just
ignore the g_return_val_if_fail() guards for this)
Maps to GST_BUFFER_FLAG_MEDIA4. The purpose is to explicitly indicate
whether a telecined buffer is progressive or not without having to make
assumptions based on previous buffers.
Binding generators apparently need this as they can't really know
that the callback is guaranteed to be called exactly once and that
the user_data can be freed at the end of it.
Add a new video event to mark the start or end of a still-frame
sequence, and a parser function to identify and extract info from
such events.
API: gst_video_event_new_still_frame()
API: gst_video_event_parse_still_frame()
Fixes: #601942
