This patch fixes a problem that occurs at the start of playback of MPEG2 streams. The symptom is that an initial good frame will display and then the video appears to skip back a frame or two and some macroblocking is observed. The stream then plays correctly. This is really obvious when switching between SAPed multicast streams, where you're jumping right in to a lot of movement and probably not starting with an I frame. The issue appears to be some code introduced way back in 2004 (commit eaefb850 ) which resubmits data to the video codec. The commit notes suggest it was to avoid dropping the first I frame, but I see no obviously lost I frames after removing the code with my test samples. Presumably this was a work-around for a libavcodec issue that is no longer required. Therefore, this patch basically just reverts the 2004 commit in its current form.
