honor decoder's/filter's decision to remove frames when using -noskip. this may go against the original intention of the vf layer, but it's how all the filters that drop frames have been written to work, so it's now the de-facto standard. without this patch, -noskip will result in tons of duplicate frames (either soft or hard duplicates) and a/v desync whenever decimation, ivtc, etc. is used. even with this patch -noskip is still a bad idea for most of these purposes, but it will work reliably with filmdint, framestep, and some other filters with fixed in:out ratios as long as the right -ofps value is used. without this patch, there is no hope of -noskip working with frame-dropping filters. (this patch was previously committed erroneously as part of another change, then reversed. it is now being committed again.)

VIDIX - Video Interface for *niX.
~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
This library was designed and introduced as interface to userspace drivers
to provide DGA everywhere where it's possible (unline X11).
I hope that these drivers will be portable same as X11 (not only on *nix).

For detail on how to develop new driver see main/DOCS/tech/vidix.txt

IMPORTANT: These are NOT linux kernel drivers. If you are looking for
the mga_vid linux kernel drivers, please cd ../drivers thanks.
