Some years-old deprecated stuff has now been removed.
Correct solution is probably to use valid defines etc. in own code, but
this is more FFMEPG maintainer task (since it also may change how old
FFMPEG we do support...).
Brecht authored this commit, but he gave me the honours to actually
do it. Here it goes; Blender Internal. Bye bye, you did great!
* Point density, voxel data, ocean, environment map textures were removed,
as these only worked within BI rendering. Note that the ocean modifier
and the Cycles point density shader node continue to work.
* Dynamic paint using material shading was removed, as this only worked
with BI. If we ever wanted to support this again probably it should go
through the baking API.
* GPU shader export through the Python API was removed. This only worked
for the old BI GLSL shaders, which no longer exists. Doing something
similar for Eevee would be significantly more complicated because it
uses a lot of multiplass rendering and logic outside the shader, it's
probably impractical.
* Collada material import / export code is mostly gone, as it only worked
for BI materials. We need to add Cycles / Eevee material support at some
point.
* The mesh noise operator was removed since it only worked with BI
material texture slots. A displacement modifier can be used instead.
* The delete texture paint slot operator was removed since it only worked
for BI material texture slots. Could be added back with node support.
* Not all legacy viewport features are supported in the new viewport, but
their code was removed. If we need to bring anything back we can look at
older git revisions.
* There is some legacy viewport code that I could not remove yet, and some
that I probably missed.
* Shader node execution code was left mostly intact, even though it is not
used anywhere now. We may eventually use this to replace the texture
nodes with Cycles / Eevee shader nodes.
* The Cycles Bake panel now includes settings for baking multires normal
and displacement maps. The underlying code needs to be merged properly,
and we plan to add back support for multires AO baking and add support
to Cycles baking for features like vertex color, displacement, and other
missing baking features.
* This commit removes DNA and the Python API for BI material, lamp, world
and scene settings. This breaks a lot of addons.
* There is more DNA that can be removed or renamed, where Cycles or Eevee
are reusing some old BI properties but the names are not really correct
anymore.
* Texture slots for materials, lamps and world were removed. They remain
for brushes, particles and freestyle linestyles.
* 'BLENDER_RENDER' remains in the COMPAT_ENGINES of UI panels. Cycles and
other renderers use this to find all panels to show, minus a few panels
that they have their own replacement for.
WEBM is the codec name, and VP9 is the encoder (the older encoder "VP8"
is less efficient than VP9).
WEBM/VP9 and h.264 both have options to control the file size versus
compression time (e.g. fast but big, or slow and small, for the same
output quality). Since WEBM/VP9 only has three choices, I've chosen to
map those to 3 of the 9 possible choices of h.264:
- BEST → SLOWER
- GOOD → MEDIUM
- REALTIME → SUPERFAST
The VERYSLOW and ULTRAFAST options give very little extra benefit.

This is currently only supported by FFmpeg (so not frameserver, AVI RAW,
or AVI JPEG), and only seems to work when using Matroska or Ogg Theora
containers.
Only metadata that doesn't change from frame to frame is written to
video files. This distinction is visible in the UI by looking at the
stamp checkbox tooltips (they either mention "image" or "image/video").

Deleting the old internal audaspace.
Major changes from there are:
- The whole library was refactored to use C++11.
- Many stability and performance improvements.
- Major Python API refactor:
- Most requested: Play self generated sounds using numpy arrays.
- For games: Sound list, random sounds and dynamic music.
- Writing sounds to files.
- Sequencing API.
- Opening sound devices, eg. Jack.
- Ability to choose different OpenAL devices in the user settings.
This patch changes a couple of things in the video output encoding.
{F362527}
- Clearer separation between container and codec. No more "format", as this is
too ambiguous. As a result, codecs were removed from the container list.
- Added FFmpeg speed presets, so the user can choosen from the range "Very
slow" to "Ultra fast". By default no preset is used.
- Added Constant Rate Factor (CRF) mode, which allows changing the bit-rate
depending on the desired quality and the input. This generally produces the
best quality videos, at the expense of not knowing the exact bit-rate and
file size.
- Added optional maximum of non-B-frames between B-frames (`max_b_frames`).
- Presets were adjusted for these changes, and new presets added. One of the
new presets is [recommended](https://trac.ffmpeg.org/wiki/Encode/VFX#H.264)
for reviewing videos, as it allows players to scrub through it easily. Might
be nice in weeklies. This preset also requires control over the
`max_b_frames` setting.
GUI-only changes:
- Renamed "MPEG" in the output file format menu with "FFmpeg", as this is more
accurate. After all, FFmpeg is used when this option is chosen, which can
also output non-MPEG files.
- Certain parts of the GUI are disabled when not in use:
- bit rate options are not used when a constant rate factor is given.
- audio bitrate & volume are not used when no audio is exported.
Note that I did not touch `BKE_ffmpeg_preset_set()`. There are currently two
preset systems for FFmpeg (`BKE_ffmpeg_preset_set()` and the Python preset
system). Before we do more work on `BKE_ffmpeg_preset_set()`, I think it's a
good idea to determine whether we want to keep it at all.
After this patch has been accepted, I'd be happy to go through the code and
remove any then-obsolete bits, such as the handling of "XVID" as a container
format.

I don’t think any other codec enum makes sense here, so probably just
an extra copy/paste. Here are the video codecs:
AV_CODEC_ID_NONE
AV_CODEC_ID_MPEG4
AV_CODEC_ID_MJPEG
AV_CODEC_ID_DNXHD
AV_CODEC_ID_MPEG2VIDEO
AV_CODEC_ID_MPEG1VIDEO
AV_CODEC_ID_DVVIDEO
AV_CODEC_ID_THEORA
AV_CODEC_ID_PNG <— alpha
AV_CODEC_ID_QTRLE <— alpha
AV_CODEC_ID_FFV1 <— alpha (if enabled)
AV_CODEC_ID_HUFFYUV <— alpha
AV_CODEC_ID_H264
AV_CODEC_ID_FLV1
Found with PVS-Studio T48917
While it's not something we'll be using for the official release,
it's nice to support new libraries at least on "it compiles" level,
so it's not that many frustrated developers around.
Nexyon, please have a look into Audaspace changes :)
- rename WITH_EXTERNAL_AUDASPACE to WITH_SYSTEM_AUDASPACE.
- rename C/PYAUDASPACE to AUDASPACE_C/PY
- simplifying cmake defines and includes.
- fixing include paths and enabling WITH_SYSTEM_AUDASPACE for windows.
- fixing scons building.
- other minor build system fixes.

Missing Bits
============
First rule of Multi-View bug report: If something is not working as it should *when Views is off* this is a severe bug, do mention this in the report.
Second rule is, if something works *when Views is off* but doesn't (or crashes) when *Views is on*, this is a important bug. Do mention this in the report.
Everything else is likely small todos, and may wait until we are sure none of the above is happening.
Apart from that there are those known issues:
* Compositor Image Node poorly working for Multi-View OpenEXR
(this was working prefectly before the 'Use Multi-View' functionality)
* Selecting camera from Multi-View when looking from camera is problematic
* Animation Playback (ctrl+F11) doesn't support stereo formats
* Wrong filepath when trying to play back animated scene
* Viewport Rendering doesn't support Multi-View
* Overscan Rendering
* Fullscreen display modes need to warn the user
* Object copy should be aware of views suffix

range and extra frames.
Issue here is that the movie backend would unconditionally use the start
frame of the scene instead of the preview frame. Solved by passing an
explicit "preview" argument.
Strictly speaking, the preview argument is part of the renderdata
struct, that is also passed to the code, but when rendering the final
result we want to unconditionally render the full range regardless of
the preview setting of the render structure.
However, OpenGL rendering does use the preview range so we need to
account for that when making those exports.
This is also a nice chance to correct the filenames, which still used
the full range.
