[FFmpeg-devel] [PATCH] Make decoding alpha optional for some codecs.

Reimar Döffinger Reimar.Doeffinger at gmx.de
Thu Sep 19 20:40:34 CEST 2013


For codecs where decoding of a whole plane can simply
be skipped, we should offer applications to not decode
alpha for better performance (ca. 30% less CPU usage
and 40% reduced memory bandwidth).
It also means applications do not need to implement support
(even if it is rather simple) for YUVA formats in order to be
able to play these files.
Tested by manually hacking avcodec_default_get_format,
suggestions for how to test in FATE welcome.
