Thanks for your quick reply.

Yes, they are mostly search and replace, though the patch also fixes memory
leaks. (Previously the correct way to free a frame was avcodec_free_frame,
not av_free.)

That's always a good idea.

To prevent any misunderstanding: This patch is not about deprecations introduced
in 2.9, but about deprecations from the 2.0 era. The APIs deprecated back then
got removed now. These API changes are documented in the APIchanges document [1].
(It's installed in ffmpeg-doc, as well.)
Also there is a Libav website about the (similar) changes in Libav 12 [2].

That would be great.

Thanks.
