Apparently this was needed for good DVD playback.
This demuxer has been removed in 1fde09db6f. All code added comes
from the revision before that. Some other bits have been removed in
later commits, and are added back as well.
Usage of memalign() is replaced by av_malloc(). As far as I can tell,
this memory is never free'd or reallocated, so no calls to av_free()
have been added.
The code re-added to video.c is plain horrible, full of code
duplication, full of demuxer/codecs specifics, but apparently needed.
Unrelated to re-adding the demuxer, re-add one codepath for
DEMUXER_TYPE_TV, which was accidentally removed in the same commit
demux_mpg was removed.
The closed captions decoder is not re-added.
Most of these demuxers and decoders are provided in better form by
libav, while the mplayer builtin ones are essentially unmaintained. The
only legimitate use case for not using the libav ones was working around
libav bugs or bugs related to the way mplayer uses libav. Instead of
trying to keep dead code alive, development effort should go into
improving libav or the mplayer libav glue code.
Note that the libav demuxer have been preferred over the mplayer builtin
ones for a while in mplayer2. There were some exceptions: playing DVDs
with dvdnav or playing network sources. (That's because some stream
modules and network.c requested explicit file formats, such as
DEMUXER_TYPE_MPEG_PS, which mapped to builtin demuxers.) With this
commit, they are switched to use libav. One caveat is that the requested
format is not passed to libavformat, instead we rely on the auto probing
to select the correct libav demuxer (see code in demux_open_stream()).
The function is used in the MPEG muxer as well and not specific to MPEG-TS.
Jointly developed by Nico Sabbi and myself.
