x264enc on android: very slow.

[Tonu Jaansoo]

Hi!

My SamsungGS4 encodes/decodes 1080p @29.76fps h264 in real time. I believe any 4.1 device is capable.
About submitting. If i come up with something that works, i will propose a patch. Currently I have some other assignments unfortunately.

Tonu.

Huge difference between hardware or software. The API for codecs starts from Android 4.1. http://developer.android.com/reference/android/media/MediaCodec.html

I see some software encoder running on Android, and the frame rate can reach 15 fps, and the performance is quite acceptable. I want to know if there are some settings for x264enc, which can improve the performance.
