The definition of "work" depends on what you do with the data.

There is no universal solution. My point is that creating a new encoder instance is conceptually simpler and therefore safer than trying to reinitialize all the codec internals. -- Anton Khirnov _______________________________________________ ffmpeg-devel mailing list ffmpeg-devel@ffmpeg.org https://ffmpeg.org/mailman/listinfo/ffmpeg-devel To unsubscribe, visit link above, or email ffmpeg-devel-requ...@ffmpeg.org with subject "unsubscribe".
