[x264-devel] Multislicing support

[List, Peter]

Hallo Etienne,
I would appreciate very much if this patch would go into the 
official version.

One more question: In your last mail you explicitly mentioned 
the option where a slice is "slicesize" macroblocks big. 
If I remember rightly Mojtaba Hosseini promoted the version
of restricting a slice by the number of bytes it has. Is that 
also part of your patch? In you conversation with Mojtaba 
Hosseini in Feb. 2008 this seemed to be the case...

Regards
Peter
