Sadly wtch ffmpeg.git patch does not work anymore.

I tried to use

int       nb_pads = avfilter_filter_pad_count(filter,0);

but this one apparently crashes when I try zscale :(

while may be zscale was just not compiled in?

I'll retry with some more env. options.

On the plus side ffmpeg.git + radv + h264 video = it mostly works.
Some vids still crash us ...
