I have a few vague questions I want to ask but keep in mind I have no knowledge of FFmpeg's APIs. It is my impression that encoding with avcodec requires a whole picture to be given to the encoder at any time.
Has anyone ever started working on allowing avcodec to encode anything less than a whole picture? Does anyone know of anyone else ever attempting similar work? I think x264 allows this but it was long, long ago when I hung around that project and I might be mis-remembering its features. As an extreme example the Dirac/VC2 encoder in avcodec could encode as little as 2 lines without needing the rest of the picture. _______________________________________________ ffmpeg-devel mailing list ffmpeg-devel@ffmpeg.org http://ffmpeg.org/mailman/listinfo/ffmpeg-devel
