[Ffmpeg-devel] [PATCH] wrong use of ff_get_fourcc in mpjg.c

[Reimar Doeffinger]

Hello,
attached patch fixes bug 739 by using the much more obvious to
understand MKBETAG.
I think this is not the first bug of this kind caused by this functions,
indicating it that it is flawed in so far as it has non-obvious
semantics, so may I suggest deprecating it?
In addition, if someone is bored, in mjpeg.c at least the fatal errors
should be fixed to use av_log instead of dprintf.

Greetings,
Reimar Doeffinger
