rather ff_ i think
the difference (i dont know how much or little of ffmpeg actually conforms)
is that ff_ should be internal stuff
avcodec_ public stuff specific to libavcodec
av_ stuff specific to libavformat (it was named libav long time ago) or
generic stuff which needs a short name due to common use like av_log()
