[FFmpeg-devel] [PATCH 2/2] avformat/mpegtsenc: write format_identifier HEVC for HEVC streams

[Marton Balint]

This improves compatibility with some consumer TVs which apparently either
search a HEVC descriptor (which our mpegts muxer can't generate) or a format
specifier.

Since the HEVC format specifier is not registered (but used in the wild), it is
not written if strict_std_compliance is higher than normal.

This fixes the issue in ticket #7744.
