Due to non-byte-alignment a read of 32 bits guarantees only 25 usable bits; therefore get_bits_long() (which is used to potentially read more than 25 bits) performs two reads in case it needs to read more than 25 bits and combines the result. Yet this is not necessary: One can just read 64 bits at a time to get 32 usable bits (57 would be possible). This commit does so. This reduced the size of .text by 30144B for GCC 11.4 and 5648B for Clang 14 (both with -O3). (get_bits_long() is a building block of show_bits_long() and get_ue_golomb_long(), so this patch affects these, too.) Signed-off-by: Andreas Rheinhardt <andreas.rheinhardt@outlook.com>

		FFmpeg README
FFmpeg is a collection of libraries and tools to process multimedia content such as audio, video, subtitles and related metadata.
Libraries
libavcodecprovides implementation of a wider range of codecs.libavformatimplements streaming protocols, container formats and basic I/O access.libavutilincludes hashers, decompressors and miscellaneous utility functions.libavfilterprovides means to alter decoded audio and video through a directed graph of connected filters.libavdeviceprovides an abstraction to access capture and playback devices.libswresampleimplements audio mixing and resampling routines.libswscaleimplements color conversion and scaling routines.
Tools
- ffmpeg is a command line toolbox to manipulate, convert and stream multimedia content.
 - ffplay is a minimalistic multimedia player.
 - ffprobe is a simple analysis tool to inspect multimedia content.
 - Additional small tools such as 
aviocat,ismindexandqt-faststart.
