Re: [FFmpeg-devel] [PATCH] avformat/img2dec: added option -strftime_mkdir to allow directory creation if the strftime pattern include non-existing directories, similarly to how hls muxer does.

Hi.

Thanks for the patch. See my remark below.

This is copied from hlsenc.c. Please factor it instead.

As far as I can see, ff_mkdir_p() is used exactly twice now and will be
thrice with this patch. And every time, it is invoked after
av_dirname(), so I suggest to turn it into ff_mkdir_p_parent(). That
would also fix the missing error checks in format_name().
