Description
The documentation of "avcodec_get_context_defaults3" says:
Set the fields of the given AVCodecContext to default values corresponding to the given codec.
But it doesn't set some fields, for example "codec_id", why?
auto encoder = avcodec_find_encoder(AV_CODEC_ID_H264); avcodec_get_context_defaults3(outStream->codec, encoder);

How to send the patch, just add the code and send options.c file to you?

No.
First clone ffmpeg git as explained on http://ffmpeg.org/download.html (first paragraph).
Then make your changes.
Then either produce a diff file with the following command:
$ git diff >set_codec_id.diff
and send the resulting file with an explanation to ffmpeg-devel
or use this preferred variant:
Commit the changes you made to your local repository and either use "git send-email" to send your changes to the mailing list or use "git format-patch" to produce a - more useful than above - diff file that you can send as an attachment, see http://ffmpeg.org/developer.html
Consider sending a patch to ffmpeg-devel
