I agree it would be overkill for a warning, but that was not what I meant:

First, a simple API, something like
name = avcodec_get_name(buf, sizeof(buf), codec_id)
would be useful in quite a lot of places.

Second, if this avcodec_get_name could find names even for disabled codecs,
that would be a interesting bonus. For example it would replace:

  Stream #0.0: Audio: [0][0][0][0] / 0x0000, 48000 Hz, 2 channels, s16
  Decoder (codec id 86070) not found for input stream #0.0

by:

  Stream #0.0: Audio: celt, 48000 Hz, 2 channels, s16
  Decoder (celt) not found for input stream #0.0

Regards,
