[x264-devel] Custom slice support

[Etienne Bömcke]

Hello Mojtaba,

I took a look at the patch you sent, and I was wondering if the new  
code made it possible to manually separate frames into slices. Correct  
me if I'm wrong, it seems to me that what your code does is creating  
slices automatically so that the NALs don't exceed a fixed size. Is  
there anything I missed that allow a finer control over the slices?

Thanks
