This is quite ugly, why do you want to do that ?

get_format is set by the user
the get_format API requires the function to choose one of the caller
provided formats and it can choose any.
I dont know what your function does but its different from the API.
It smells very much like a hack ...

The one situation in which you can set get_format from libavcodec is
when there is a seperate codec context you created, that is that you
are its user.

can you explain why this code messes with avctx->get_format ?
and for example doesnt change the code that calls get_format so that
it passes a correct pixel format list which then by any get_format()
results in a correct format ?
or am i missing something ?

If a bugfix only changes things apparently unrelated to the bug with no
further explanation, that is a good sign that the bugfix is wrong.
