Aw: Re: What is the alignment capability in video/x-h264

[pfarmer]

Thanks again for your comments. 

  


My plan was to send different NALU types via a different transport channel with configurable Quality of Service. Such that non Video Coding Layer NALUs (e.g. SPS and PPS) can be send via a  more reliable channel. It appeared to me more straight forward to handle each NALU as they are produced and not placed in a container already. 

But indeed the overhead will be marginally and I will use the h264parse element functions which will give my transport payloader the NALUs seperated. 

On the receiver side I will place the h264parse element in fornt of the decoder (avdec_h264).

Well, the output of x264enc is always also NALU aligned, since AU 
alignment is a subset of NALU alignment. Where does it make a difference 
for you? Is it just about the caps, or something else? The only 
difference I can think of is that if you could get the encoder to output 
a partial frame already you have marginally lower latency. Whether x264 
actually supports that, I don't know (but didn't check). Most encoders 
don't.

There was parsing done inside ffdec_h264, now parsing is done in 
h264parse. Why not just put an h264parse in front of avdec_h264? Is it 
about parsing overhead, or caps or.. ?
