Well, just what I was what that wherever there was a check for the pix_fmt
there would also be a check for the CODEC_ID, which I think is wrong,
to be able to use an AVFrame you shouldn't need to remember which codec
created the AVFrame, it should be usable on its own.
I'm not saying this isn't possible with those PIXFMT schemes, I just don't
know.
