 The documentation of "avcodec_get_context_defaults3" says:
 Set the fields of the given AVCodecContext to default values corresponding
 to the given codec.

 But it doesn't set some fields, for example "codec_id", why?
 {{{
 auto encoder = avcodec_find_encoder(AV_CODEC_ID_H264);
 avcodec_get_context_defaults3(outStream->codec, encoder);
 }}}
