[FFmpeg-devel] [PATCH 2/2] ffmpeg: Require output format when using cuvid hwaccel

[Philip Langdale]

This is another approach to dealing with the behavioural change
when switching to generic hwaccel. Full hardware transcoding will
not happen if no output format is specified, where this was not
true previously.

So, let's force the user to deal with this change by refusing to
run without an output format.
