 *
 * This file has been modified so that only major versions greater than
 * 53 are supported.
 * Note that while the conditions are based upon LIBAVFORMAT, not all of the changes are
 * specific to libavformat.h.  Some changes could be related to other components of ffmpeg.
 * This is for simplicity.  The avformat version has historically changed at the same time
 * as the other components so it is easier to have a single version number to track rather
 * than the particular version numbers which are associated with each component.
 * The libav variant also has different apis with the same major/minor version numbers.
 * As such, it is occasionally necessary to look at the microversion number.  Numbers
 * greater than 100 for micro version indicate ffmpeg whereas numbers less than 100
 * indicate libav
