[FFmpeg-devel] [PATCH 2/2] avcodec/proresenc: fix alpha plane encoding bitstream

["Clément Bœsch" <u@pkh.me>]

These functions encode a slice of alpha (1 to 8 macroblocks) which are
expected to be encoded as a repeated sequence of "[diff][run-1]", where
diff is the running difference of the alpha value and run is how many
times that value is expected to be duplicated (within the limit of a
grand total of 2048 unpacked samples, corresponding to a slice of 8 MB).

Even when run==0 (the run variable semantic is actually "run minus 1"),
there is always a diff previously encoded that needs a counter of at
least 1. This means we need to call put_alpha_run() unconditionally at
the end of the bitstream to account for the last running diff.

This commit fixes glitchy playbacks on QuickTime with M2 and M3 hardware
(but not M1 for some mysterious reason) with files generated with
commands such as:

  ffmpeg -f lavfi -i testsrc2=d=5:s=912x320,chromakey -c:v prores_aw -profile:v 4    -y aw.mov
  ffmpeg -f lavfi -i testsrc2=d=5:s=912x320,chromakey -c:v prores_ks -profile:v 4444 -y ks.mov

The glitch expresses itself deterministically as blinking black
rectangles on random frames (for example on frame 21, 54, 71, 79, ...).

Even with the proresdec from FFmpeg, overreads actually happens while
reading the run-minus-1 value (around val = get_bits(gb, 4) in
unpack_alpha()). This doesn't seem to cause any particular issue because
it simply overreads into the next slice, and because the decoder is
resilient, but it's still a problem.

Fixes ticket #10255.
