Niklas Haas e05a1bb879 swscale: fix documentation of sws_scale_frame()
Since its introduction, this function has claimed to return 0 on success, yet
never actually did so (until the introduction of the new graph based API). It
always returned the number of scaled lines, and continues to do so.

To avoid confusion, but also avoid regressing possible clients that relied on
the existing semantics, simply update the documentation to reflect the actual
behavior. Remain ambiguous about the exact interpretation of the return value
on account of the unfortunate difference in behavior between the legacy and
new scaling APIs.

FFmpeg README

FFmpeg is a collection of libraries and tools to process multimedia content such as audio, video, subtitles and related metadata.

Libraries

  • libavcodec provides implementation of a wider range of codecs.
  • libavformat implements streaming protocols, container formats and basic I/O access.
  • libavutil includes hashers, decompressors and miscellaneous utility functions.
  • libavfilter provides means to alter decoded audio and video through a directed graph of connected filters.
  • libavdevice provides an abstraction to access capture and playback devices.
  • libswresample implements audio mixing and resampling routines.
  • libswscale implements color conversion and scaling routines.

Tools

  • ffmpeg is a command line toolbox to manipulate, convert and stream multimedia content.
  • ffplay is a minimalistic multimedia player.
  • ffprobe is a simple analysis tool to inspect multimedia content.
  • Additional small tools such as aviocat, ismindex and qt-faststart.
