[x264-devel] Multislicing support

[Etienne Bömcke]

Hi guys,

I'd like to get your attention one last time on the topic of multi- 
sliced encoding. You'll find attached to this message the patch I  
developped based on Mojtaba Hossein's work, adding support for  
multiple slices during the encoding process. A new command-line option  
has been added (--mb-slicesize) allowing one to specify the max number  
of macroblock to be encoded in each slice, while the --no-mv-inter- 
slices option tell x264 to output totally independent slices, both  
spatially and temporally. Last time I sent this patch, I just received  
a single reaction from Jason Martens, but no real comment on the patch  
itself.
Could you please take a minute and look at it? I myself did some tests  
to evaluate the performance of the patched code, but as my knowledge  
of the encoder is limited I can't tell for sure that the patched code  
doesn't cause significant performance losses.
If I don't receive any feedback, I'll assume the patch is ready to be  
included in the official version, and I'll make sure this will be done  
as soon as possible.

Best regards,

Etienne
