 Summary of the bug:

 Back in July, Jean-Baptiste Kempf wrote a patch to incorporate SpeedHQ
 encoding support.

 https://www.mail-archive.com/ffmpeg-devel@ffmpeg.org/msg105907.html

 Unfortunately, it looks like the patch hasn't been update since July, so I
 can only assume that it has slipped through the cracks.

 I'm actively working on code that uses FFMPEG's libraries to mux some raw
 data in that format, but unfortunately, that seems to be impossible
 because there's no encoder.  I can patch in the changes by hand for now,
 but it would be nice if the support were actually in the tree
 (particularly because the comments sound like there might be some thread
 safety problems in the code as written).

 Could somebody please take a look at that patch set, figure out what needs
 to be done to bring it up to spec, and get it checked in?  :-)


 How to reproduce:

 Write code that attempts to mux data in the SpeedHQ codec.  Observe that
 avcodec_find_encoder(AV_CODEC_ID_SPEEDHQ) returns NULL.
