 * keywords:  valgrind leak avformat_init_output av_write_trailer => leak
 * resolution:   => invalid
 * status:  new => closed
 * component:  undetermined => avformat


Comment:

 `avformat_write_header()` will obviously allocate resources at least for
 some formats: These can only be freed by calling `av_write_trailer()`, how
 else could this work?

 If you really want to suggest such an API change, please write a patch and
 send it to the development mailing list.
