Hello Mojtaba,

No I haven't.
One important feature of slices is, that every slice is independently
decodeble, because:
1. there is no prediction over slice boundaries
2. EACH of the slice-headers contain ALL the information that was 
   formally called "Frame-header"
3. It also contains the address where it starts, so it can always be 
   placed at the right spot in the frame (even if slices at the top 
   of that frame are missing.

Does your patch provide that? In other words does it produce 
"real slices", or just NAL-chunks of a desired size?

Regards
Peter
