[FFmpeg-devel] [PATCH] avfilter/vf_vidstabdetect: force ASCII mode if possible

[Timo Rothenpieler]

Newer versions of the library added a new binary output format, and prefer using it by default.
Those binary files seem to cause issues for a lot of users, where ffmpeg fails to (sometimes?) read
back the trf file it has just written itself.

My guess is that this might be because of the fopen-mode of "w" below, where "wb" would be needed.
But since we can't really know what format the library is about to write, it's better to force
it into ASCII mode when possible.
