What's the difference between h264parse and x264enc

[Peter Maersk-Moller]

Hi Alston

x264enc encodes raw video to H.264 video.

h264parse parses a H.264 encoded stream. Parsing means it looks at the
stream and signal downstream the format of the stream. Furthermore
h264parse can convert the H.264 stream from one H.264 format to another,
but no encoding takes place.
