- * Set the fields of the given AVCodecContext to default values corresponding
- * to the given codec (defaults may be codec-dependent).
- *
- * Do not call this function if a non-NULL codec has been passed
- * to avcodec_alloc_context3() that allocated this AVCodecContext.
- * If codec is non-NULL, it is illegal to call avcodec_open2() with a
- * different codec on this AVCodecContext.
+ * @deprecated This function should not be used, as closing and opening a codec
+ * context multiple time is not supported. A new codec context should be
+ * allocated for each new use.
