This no longer exists.

Thanks, I removed mentioning it. It was a copy pasted comment from old code...

+    bool has_internal_source;
+  };
+
+  // Returns a list of supported video formats in order of preference, to use
+  // for signaling etc.
+  virtual std::vector<SdpVideoFormat> GetSupportedFormats() const = 0;
+
+  // Returns information about how this format will be encoded. The specified
+  // format must be one of the supported formats by this factory.
+  // TODO(magjed): Try to get rid of this method.
+  virtual CodecInfo QueryVideoEncoder(const SdpVideoFormat& format) const = 0;
+
+  // Creates a VideoEncoder for the specified format.
+  virtual std::unique_ptr<VideoEncoder> CreateVideoEncoder(
+      const SdpVideoFormat& format) = 0;
+
+  virtual ~VideoEncoderFactory() {}
+};
