First implementation of the test system, with ad-hoc per-feature tests
and one test for each filter/input pixel format combination, useful
for testing one-input / one-output filters.

BTW the ff* tools are not able to decode some of the output files, for example:
stefano at geppetto ~/s/l/f/t/data> ffplay b-yuv411p-null.avi
FFplay version SVN-r21003, Copyright (c) 2003-2010 Fabrice Bellard, et al.
[...]
[avi @ 0x97f9690]MAX_READ_SIZE:5000000 reached
Input #0, avi, from 'b-yuv411p-null.avi':
  Duration: 00:00:02.00, start: 0.000000, bitrate: 30440 kb/s
    Stream #0.0: Video: Y41B / 0x42313459, 352x288, 25 fps, 25 tbr, 25 tbn, 25 tbc
b-yuv411p-null.avi: could not open codecs

which is somehow due to the fourCC problem I mentioned in another
thread.

What is still missing is a system for testing each filter/filter
combination, the only problem is that in this case is difficult to
find parameters which are good for every possible combination, and I
don't want to be required to specify them.

The best way to fix that problem seems to me to use parametric values,
e.g.:
scale=2/3*in_w:2/3*out_w, pad=3/2*in_w:3/2*out_w:1/4*in_w:(out_w-in_w)/2:(out_h-in_h)/2, crop=(in_w-out_w)/2:(in_h-out_h)/2in_w/2:out_h/2:

but not every filter supports them (currently no-one).

Ideas?

Regards.
