[FFmpeg-devel] [PATCH] Add to AVCodec a long_name field

[Stefano Sabatini]

Hi, as discussed in:
http://thread.gmane.org/20080407143527.GA15487 at geppetto

Long names could be setted like this:

AVCodec flv_decoder = {
    "flv",
    CODEC_TYPE_VIDEO,
    CODEC_ID_FLV1,
    sizeof(MpegEncContext),
    ff_h263_decode_init,
    NULL,
    ff_h263_decode_end,
    ff_h263_decode_frame,
    CODEC_CAP_DRAW_HORIZ_BAND | CODEC_CAP_DR1,
    .long_name= "Flash Video"
};

In the case of a not filled field, I think most compilers (I only
tested gcc) should set it to NULL, so it shouldn't be a problem when
reading the field, or maybe we should explicitly set it in each codec
(this would be true also for the other fields too).

Best regards.
