 It appears that the following patch
 https://patchwork.ffmpeg.org/patch/10157/ and possibly also
 https://patchwork.ffmpeg.org/patch/10338/ inadvertently broke what they
 were meant to fix in the first place. While their intent to fix handling
 VP9 level values as decimal was sound, for some reason they actually
 caused the opposite to happen.

 I have two builds of FFmpeg to compare, an older one from commit
 {{{0bd48ab2d9e463b75ef52c0eaa0cc00c4c385cce}}} from July 10th before these
 patches and one from today's master.

 In both I run {{{ffmpeg -f lavfi -i testsrc -t 4 -c:v libvpx-vp9 -b:v 8M
 -vf scale=-2:2160,format=yuv420p -g 100 -sc_threshold 0 -single_file 1 -f
 dash manifest.mpd}}} as bare minimum command line to create a sample dash
 output with vp9 codec.

 The full FFmpeg output log is irrelevant, but here it is for completeness'
 sake. I have intentionally used UHD for output to demonstrate the issue of
 written VP9 level and build from master is customized to include just
 libvpx encoder to save compilation time while testing, but it occurs in
 regular full build as well.

 The m4s output from FFmpeg build before the patches has the following
 bytes in vpcC box for this UHD content

 {{{00 50 82 02 02 02}}}

 Since level should be written as decimal, 50 here is correct for UHD
 content with level 5.0 and generated mpd states
 {{{codecs="vp09.00.50.08"}}} which is also correct.

 The m4s output from FFmpeg build from master after the patches has the
 following bytes in vpcC box

 {{{00 32 82 02 02 02}}}

 level 5.0 is written as 32 in hexadecimal and generated mpd states again
 {{{codecs="vp09.00.50.08"}}}. Although the values are stored as
 hexadecimal, the dash muxer converts the codec string to decimal.

 If I roll back the changes in master source code introduced by
 https://patchwork.ffmpeg.org/patch/10157/ , the bytes in vpcC box are
 again correctly decimal

 {{{00 50 82 02 02 02}}}

 however, dash muxer is considering it still hexadecimal after the other
 patch and writes invalid {{{codecs="vp09.00.80.08"}}} - level 8.0 does not
 exist. It looks like the change from
 https://patchwork.ffmpeg.org/patch/10338/ would need to be rolled back as
 well. Or there is something else in effect that is causing another
 conversion of what the patches write to the output.

 Attempt to force the level with {{{-level 5.0}}} does not make any
 difference in the output.
