1747761 - Improve codec specific data handling in VideoInfo

Status: NEW

(Core :: Audio/Video: Playback, task, P3)

Description

[Bryce Seager van Dyk [:bryce] (he/him) - Not reading bugmail]

We can improve our handling of codec specific data by imposing more typing upon it and by removing the duplication in the members we use to store that data.

Having extra typing rather than just a binary blob will have various benefits:

• Easier to find where data is used by searching for types, binary blobs are hard to track.
• Better self documenting types -- hard to know what data is being stored in a binary blob compared to a explicit data structure.
• Better type checking.
• And more.
